RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2020-00416
XXXXXXXXXXXXXX	COUNSEL:  NONE
HEARING REQUESTED: NO

APPLICANT’S REQUESTS
Her DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, be corrected to reflect the following:
a.	She was removed from the Temporary Disability Retired List (TDRL).
b.	Add her Air Force Achievement Medal (AFAM) (Staffed to AFPC Recognitions for Action)
APPLICANT’S CONTENTIONS
She was removed from the TDRL and honorably discharged; however, her DD Form 214 still reflects she is retired. She requires a new DD Form 214 that indicates her current discharge status as honorable instead of retired.
The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.
STATEMENT OF FACTS
The applicant is a former Air Force senior airman (E-4).
On 1 December 2011, via Special Order ACD-00323, dated 9 November 2011, the applicant was relieved from active duty and placed on the TDRL effective 2 December 2011, with a compensable percentage for physical disability of 80 percent.

On 26 January 2015, via Special Order ACD-00934, dated 6 January 2015, the applicant was removed from the TDRL and discharged by reason of physical disability, with entitlement to disability severance pay. She was credited with 4 years, 6 months and 17 days of active service.

For more information, see the excerpt of the applicant’s record at Exhibit B and the advisory at Exhibit C.
AIR FORCE EVALUATION
AFPC/DP2SSR-214 denying the application. In accordance with AFI 36-3202, Separation Documents, a DD Form 214 is issued when an individual is being placed on the TDRL. However, a DD Form 214 is not issued when an individual is removed from the TDRL since time spent on TDRL is not active duty time. The applicant should have received separate documentation from the disability office when she was removed from the TDRL.
The complete advisory opinion is at Exhibit C.
APPLICANT’S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION
The Board sent a copy of the advisory opinion to the applicant on 3 March 2020, for comment (Exhibit D), but has received no response.

FINDINGS AND CONCLUSION
1.	The application was not timely filed, but it is in the interest of justice to excuse the delay.
2.	The applicant exhausted all available non-judicial relief before applying to the Board.
3.	After reviewing all Exhibits, the Board concludes the applicant is not the victim of an error or injustice. The Board concurs with the rationale and recommendation of AFPC/DP2SSR-214 and finds a preponderance of the evidence does not substantiate the applicant’s contentions. The Board notes the applicant’s argument that she requires a new DD Form 214 to reflect her current discharge status. However, as noted above, the applicant can present the DD Form 214 issued following her entry into TDRL with the special order removing her from TDRL, to correctly depict her service. Accordingly, the Board recommends against correcting the applicant’s records.
RECOMMENDATION
The Board recommends informing the applicant the evidence did not demonstrate material error or injustice, and the Board will reconsider the application only upon receipt of relevant evidence not already presented.
