Discharge Upgrade Application

A Discharge Upgrade Application is a formal request made by a military veteran to change their discharge status from the armed forces. Discharges can range from honorable to other-than-honorable, affecting benefits and employment opportunities. Veterans may seek an upgrade to improve their status based on various factors, such as changes in the circumstances surrounding their service or evidence of their contributions after discharge. The application typically requires documentation and a review process by a military board, and successful upgrades can enhance a veteran's access to benefits and help repair their reputation.
