Reclassification of Military Character of Discharge
Military veterans who are assigned improper discharge of service classification on their DD214 can challenge their armed forces branch discharge review board. Each branch of the military (Army, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard) respectfully maintains a discharge review board who has statutory authorization to change, correct, modify discharges and dismissals not issued by a sentence of a general court martial. Veterans who sustained disabilities incurred or aggravated during active duty may qualify for medical or related benefits regardless of separation and characterization of service. Prior servicemembers involuntary under other than honorable conditions may request that their discharge be reviewed for recharacterization within 15 years of the date of separation. Veterans who are deceased or incompetent; their surviving spouse or next of kin may apply for a review of discharge by writing to the military department by using DD Form 293 to which is the Application for the Review of Discharge from the Armed Forces of the United States. However, if more than 15 years has passed since discharge then appeals must be directed to the Board for Correction of Military/Naval Records of the respective service branch.
