DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY 
SOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS 701 S. COURTHOUSE ROAD, SUITE 1001 ARLINGTON, VA 22204-2490 
Docket No. 8030-15 

HAY 2 02t1&. 

This is in reference to your application for correction of your naval record pursuant to the provisions of 10 use 1552. A three-member panel of the Board for Correction of Naval Records, sitting in executive sessi9n, considered your application on 6 May 2016. Your allegations of error and injustice were reviewed in 
accordance with administrative regulations and procedures applicable t6 the proceedings of this Board. Documentary material considered by the Board consisted of your application, together with al l material submitted in support thereof, your naval record and applicable statut es, regulations and policies. A review of your record shows you were placed on the Temporary Disability Retirement List on 15 July 2007 with a 30% disability rating. The Physical Evaluation Board found your fit for active duty and you returned to active duty on 21 April 2012 . After losing your ecclesiastical endorsement, you were processed for administrative separation in 2013. A separation physical on 12 December 2013 medicall y cleared you for separation and you were discharged on 31 December 2013. 

The Board carefully considered your arguments that you deserve a disability retirement from the military. You contend t hat th.e diagnosis of your treating physician was incorrect and you continued to suffer from disabilities that qualified you for referral to the Disability Evaluation System. Unfortunately, t he Board was Wlable to find sufficient evidence to grant relief in your case. Despite your assertions that you di sagreed with the determinations of your physician, there was· insufficient medical evidence to overturn the Dec 2013 medical determination that your medical condition was stabl e and that you were fit for separation. Accordi ngly, the Board was unable to find an error or injustice warranting a correction to your record and denied your application. The names and votes of the members of the panel will be furnished upon request. 
 
It is regretted that the c~rcumstances of your case are such that favorable action cannot be taken. You are entitled to have the Board reconsider its decision upon submission of new evidence within one year fr~m the date of the Board's decision.. New evidence is evidence not previously considered by the Board prior to making its decision in this case. In this regard, it is important to keep in mind that a pr esumption .of regularity attaches to all officiai records. Consequent ly, when applying for a correction of an official naval record, the burden is on t he applicant to demonstrate the existence of probable material error or injustice. 
Sincerely, 

Executive Director
