DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY 
BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS 
701 S. COURTHOUSE ROAD, SUITE 1001 
ARLINGTON, VA 22204-2490 

Docket No. 9066-16 
OCT 16 201 7 


Dear : 

This is in reference to your application for correction of your naval record pursuant to the 
provisions of 10 U.S.C. § 1552. 

A three-member panel of the Board for Correction of Naval Records, sitting in executive session, 
considered your application on 14 July 2017. The names and votes ofthe members of the panel 
will be furnished upon request. Your allegations of error and injustice were reviewed in 
accordance with administrative regulations and procedures applicable to the proceedings of this 
Board. Documentary material considered by the Board consisted of your application, together 
with all material submitted in support thereof, relevant portions of your naval record and 
applicable statutes, regulations and policies. 

After careful and conscientious consideration of the entire record, the Board found that the 
evidence submitted was insufficient to establish the existence ofprobable material error or 
injustice. Specifically, you failed to provide copy of a lease, mortgage or deed as proof that the 
property you are claiming Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) is where you were staying 
during the period you are requesting BAH (I 0 September 2016 to 14 October 2016). 
Accordingly, your application has been denied. 

It is regretted that the circumstances ofyour case are such that favorable action cannot be taken 
at this time. You are entitled to have the Board reconsider its decision upon the submission of 
new and material evidence. New evidence is evidence not previously considered by the Board. 
In this regard, it is important to keep in mind that a presumption of regularity attaches to all 
official records. Consequently, when applying for a correction of an official naval record, the 
burden is on the applicant to demonstrate the existence of probable material error or injustice. 

Sincerely, 


Executive Director
