Dear ,  
 
This letter is in reference to your reconsideration request.  You previously petitioned the Board for Correction of Naval Records (Board) and were advised that your application had been denied.  Your case was reconsidered in accordance with Board procedures that conform to Lipsman v. Sec’y of the Army, 335 F. Supp. 2d 48 (D.D.C. 2004).  After careful and conscientious consideration of relevant portions of your naval record and your application, the Board found the evidence submitted was insufficient to establish the existence of probable material error or injustice.  Consequently, your application has been denied.      
 
A three-member panel of the Board, sitting in executive session, considered your application on  20 August 2020.  The names and votes of the 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.  Additionally, the Board considered the advisory opinions contained in Senior Medical Advisor CORB letter 1910 CORB: 002 of 9 June 2020 and Director CORB letter 1910 CORB: 001 of 23 Jun 2020; copies of which were previously provided to you for comment. 
 
The Board carefully considered your arguments that you deserve to be placed on the disability retirement list based on your belief that you were misdiagnosed with a personality disorder.  Unfortunately, the Board disagreed with your rationale for relief.  In making their findings, the Board substantially concurred with the advisory opinions in your case.  Specifically, the Board concluded that insufficient evidence exists to find that you did not suffer from a personality disorder or that your chronic adjustment disorder was a compensable disability condition at the time of your discharge.   
 
In reviewing your Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) record, the Board noted that you were denied a service connection for Unspecified Trauma and Stress Related Disorder in addition to Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.  This was persuasive evidence to the Board that those mental health condition were not related to your active duty service or the basis for military disability benefits.  While the Board agreed with the advisory opinion that you may have suffered from a chronic adjustment disorder in conjunction with your diagnosed personality disorder, the Board noted that chronic adjustment disorder was not a compensable disability condition in 2009.  Therefore, the Board determined that you were not eligible for disability processing for either your diagnosed personality disorder or an adjustment disorder.  Finally, the Board concurred with the advisory opinion determination that you were properly diagnosed with a personality disorder based on two separate mental health evaluations, on 15 December 2008 and 20 June 2009, that determined you possessed the disorder.  Accordingly, the Board found insufficient evidence of error or injustice to warrant a change to your record.   
 
It is regretted that the circumstances of your reconsideration petition are such that favorable action cannot be taken.  You are entitled to have the Board reconsider its decision upon the submission of new matters, which will require you to complete and submit a new DD Form 149.  New matters are those not previously presented to or considered by the Board.  In the absence of new matters for reconsideration, the decision of the Board is final, and your only recourse would be to seek relief, at no cost to the Board, from a court of appropriate jurisdiction. 
 
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.
