Your military discharge and service records can affect your access to VA benefits and can follow you long after your military service ends. If you believe your discharge was unjust, erroneous, or does not accurately reflect the circumstances of your service, you may have the right to ask the Military to review and correct your records.
At Greene & Marusak, we help veterans navigate the legal process involved in seeking military discharge upgrades.
A discharge upgrade is a change to the characterization of a veteran’s military service as recorded on the veteran’s DD-214.
Depending on the circumstances, a veteran may seek to change a discharge that was characterized as:
A discharge upgrade can potentially remove significant barriers to benefits and opportunities available to veterans. However, not every unfavorable discharge is automatically eligible for an upgrade. Circumstances surrounding the discharge, applicable military regulations, available evidence, and reason for the discharge are all important factors.
If you believe your military discharge or service records do not accurately reflect your service, do not assume there is nothing you can do.
Greene & Marusak can help you understand your options and determine whether pursuing a discharge upgrade may be appropriate.
