Dear XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX:

Reference your application submitted under the provisions of DoDI 6040.44 (Section 1554, 10 USC), PDBR Case Number PD-2015-00755.

After careful consideration of your application and treatment records, the Physical Disability Board of Review determined that the rating assigned at the time of final disposition of your disability evaluation system processing was not appropriate under the guidelines of the Veterans Affairs Schedule for Rating Disabilities.  Accordingly, the Board recommended modification of your assigned disability rating without re-characterization of your separation with severance pay. 

I have carefully reviewed the evidence of record and the recommendation of the Board.  I concur with that finding, accept their recommendation and direct that your records be corrected as set forth in the attached copy of a Memorandum for the Chief of Staff, United States Air Force.  This will not result in any change to your separation documents or the amount of severance pay you are entitled to.  Disability severance pay is computed the same regardless of a rating of 0, 10 or 20 percent.

Sincerely,

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Director
Air Force Review Boards Agency
