Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion:
No
Burden Reduction Due to:
Short Statement:
Increase in burden due to the following: 1. Several DoD-directed group application submissions over the last few years, such as the submission of over 1,000 applications for discharge upgrade last year as part of the remedy for those discharged under Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell. There were also a number of applicants who sought records correction and return to duty after the COVID vaccination requirement was removed. 2. A steady increase in applications under a policy called “liberal consideration” in which the Boards are directed to liberally grant discharge upgrades for those who provide some evidence that they suffered from combat or sexual assault/harassment related PTSD or TBI at the time of their discharge. As this policy has become more widely known, more people have applied to the Boards. 3. Some of the Services (Army and Air Force) have made it easier for applicants to submit applications through an online portal. The Navy also now allows members to submit applications by email, whereas previously they would only accept applications through the mail.
