THE DISCHARGE UPGRADE PROCESS
Upgrade Your Military Discharge – Regain Your Benefits
If you received a less-than-honorable discharge, you may be eligible for an upgrade or a record correction, restoring your VA benefits, employment opportunities, and reputation.
Two Paths to a Discharge Upgrade
- Discharge Review Board (DRB): Can upgrade your discharge or change the reason for separation (except for general court-martial cases). Must apply within 15 years.
- Board for Correction of Military Records (BCMR): Corrects errors or injustices in military records, including discharges. Must apply within 3 years (waivers possible).
Regain Your VA Benefits
A successful upgrade can restore access to vital Veterans Affairs (VA) benefits, including:
✔ Healthcare & Disability Compensation – Access to VA hospitals and medical care
✔ GI Bill & Education Benefits – Funding for college, training, and career advancement
✔ Home Loans & Housing Assistance – VA-backed mortgage benefits
✔ Employment Support – Federal hiring preference and job training programs
✔ Pension & Survivor Benefits – Financial security for you and your family

How an Attorney Can Maximize Your Chances of a Discharge Upgrade
Seeking a discharge upgrade or military record correction can be a complex, highly technical process. While veterans can apply on their own, having an experienced attorney dramatically improves the likelihood of success. Here’s how legal representation can make a difference:
1. Case Evaluation & Strategy Development
An attorney will analyze your service record, discharge paperwork, and military history to determine the strongest legal grounds for an upgrade. Some key strategies include:
- Proving errors or procedural mistakes in your discharge process
- Demonstrating post-service rehabilitation and good conduct
- Arguing that your discharge was too harsh based on mitigating circumstances
- Showing that the discharge was inconsistent with military policy or precedent
Every case is different, and a skilled attorney will tailor the argument to maximize success.
2. Gathering & Presenting Strong Evidence
Discharge upgrade boards make decisions based on records and evidence, so presenting a compelling case is critical. A lawyer will:
✔ Obtain service records, disciplinary reports, medical records, and performance evaluations to build a strong case
✔ Collect witness statements from former commanders, fellow service members, or family to provide character references
✔ Secure expert testimony (e.g., from medical professionals for PTSD-related cases)
✔ Compile post-service achievements such as education, employment, volunteer work, and rehabilitation efforts
Well-documented evidence can make the difference between an approval and a denial.
3. Legal Writing & Argumentation
A successful discharge upgrade request requires clear, persuasive legal writing. An attorney will:
- Draft a compelling legal argument explaining why you deserve an upgrade
- Cite relevant military policies, case law, and precedents to support your request
- Ensure all paperwork is correctly completed and submitted on time
A poorly written or incomplete application can result in immediate rejection, but an attorney will ensure the request is professionally prepared and legally sound.
4. Representation at Hearings
Veterans can request an in-person hearing to argue their case before the Discharge Review Board (DRB) or the Board for Correction of Military Records (BCMR). Having an attorney at your side is a major advantage because:
✔ They can present arguments in a way that aligns with the board’s legal standards
✔ They know how to handle tough questions from board members
✔ They can cross-examine witnesses and introduce evidence effectively
In many cases, board members respect well-prepared legal arguments, giving represented veterans an edge.
5. Handling Appeals & Further Legal Action
If a discharge upgrade request is denied, an attorney can:
- File an appeal and address any deficiencies in the original application
- Pursue further legal action if the decision appears unjust
- Advocate for a clemency review or reconsideration if new evidence arises
Veterans who apply without legal representation often struggle with appeals, while attorneys know how to keep fighting for a favorable outcome.
The Bottom Line: Why Legal Help Matters
Applying for a discharge upgrade without legal guidance can be overwhelming. A military discharge lawyer ensures:
✅ Your case is built on strong legal arguments and solid evidence
✅ You avoid common pitfalls that lead to denials
✅ You present the best possible case to restore your VA benefits, career opportunities, and reputation
A discharge upgrade can change your life—don’t leave it to chance. Contact me today for a consultation, and let’s fight for the benefits you deserve.
