Having waited 4 months for answers to those 4 questions that appeared on the story BCMR’s Failing Vets, US Army did answer Sen. Richard Lugar.   

Please read the answers here at “Army Board for Correction of Military Records Response“

If  you submitted a claim after 1986 and had a BAD SPN, SDN, or SPD code and were NOT told,  refile, you have the PROOF now.  Additional questions may now be asked.

For your information, the original 4 Questions were posted here at “Board for Correction of Military Records Failing Veterans“.  They are as follows;

QUESTION ONE:

How many cases have come before your ARMY BCMR since 1986 in which a veteran had a “ false & stigmatizing coded number “, known as a SPN, SDN, SPD code, and said veteran was advised by LEGAL PRECEDENT, CASEY v. U.S. 8 Fed Cl.Ct. (1985) that he or she was entitled to a “ DUE PROCESS OF LAW HEARING UPON DISCHARGE “.

QUESTION TWO:

Upon determining the veteran was given a false & stigmatizing coded number, how was the veteran “ redressed or compensated “ for the injustice, which is a requirement of the law governing BCMR’S i.e. Give examples of how payment was forthcoming.

QUESTION THREE:

When a BCMR discovers that SPOLIATION has taken place, and a party who destroys a document with knowledge that it is RELEVANT to litigation is likely to have been threatened by the document, and that party is one of the military branches, how does SPOLIATION effect a veterans claim. Do lawyers in the litigation office notify Justice Department Officials of the crime committed ?

QUESTION FOUR:

Once a BCMR has determined a veteran has a STIGMA discharge, and the BCMR’S must CORRECT the INJUSTICE, what guidelines are you following to locate ALL places the coded reason for discharge has been disseminated to. Please provide copy of those guidelines.
