INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETION OF DD FORM 149
Under Title 10 United States Code Section 1552, current and former members of the Armed Forces, their lawful or legal representatives, spouses and exspouses of former members seeking Survivor Benefit Program (SBP) benefits, and civilian employees seeking correction of military records other than those
related to civilian employment, who feel that they have suffered an injustice as a result of error or injustice in military records may apply to their respective Boards
for Correction of Military (or Naval) Records (BCMR/BCNR) for a correction of their military records. These Boards are the highest level appellate review authority
in the military. Therefore, applicants must exhaust all other administrative correction and appeal procedures before applying to the Boards.
This form collects the basic data that the Boards need to process and act on the request. Type or print all entries for all applicable items. If the item is not
applicable, enter "NA." If the space provided is insufficient, attach an extra page.
SECTION 3, ITEM 12. State the specific correction of record and all relief desired. If possible, identify exactly what document or information in your record you
believe to be erroneous or unjust and indicate what correction you want made to it. For additional errors or injustices, use Section 8.
ITEM 14. To justify correction of a military record, you must explain and show to the satisfaction of the Board that the alleged entry or omission in the record is in
error or unjust.
ITEM 15. U.S. Code, Title 10, Section 1552(b), states that no correction may be made unless the request is made within three years after the discovery of the
error or injustice, but the Board may excuse failure to file within three years in the interest of justice.
ITEM 16. Indicate whether you attribute the error or injustice to your involvement in a particular war or contingency operation.
ITEM 17. A hearing is not required to ensure the Board's full and impartial consideration of your application. If the Board decides that a hearing is warranted, you,
your witnesses, and your counsel may attend at no expense to the government, except that counsel may be provided if the Inspector General has reported
reprisal against you.
SECTION 4. You are responsible for obtaining and submitting clear, legible evidence to persuade the Board to grant your request, including any evidence that is
not already in your military record. Do not assume a document is in your record. Your evidence should be submitted with this form and may include, for example,
military records and orders, witnesses' sworn affidavits, and a brief of arguments supporting your request. List your evidence in item 19 and, if your case involves
a medical condition, submit relevant medical records and VA rating decisions as noted in item 20. Do not send irreplaceable original documents because they will
not be returned.
SECTION 5. The person whose record will be corrected if relief is granted must sign this form in Section 7. If that person is deceased or incompetent to sign, a
lawful claimant, such as a spouse, widow(er), next of kin (child, parent, or sibling), or legal representative, may sign the form. Proof of death, incompetency, or
power of attorney must be submitted. Former spouses may apply as claimants for SBP issues .
NEEDS DD67
SECTION 6. You may want counsel if your case is complex. Some veterans and service organizations furnish counsel without charge. Contact your local post or
chapter.
