DOHA (Defense Office of Hearings and Appeals)

The Defense Office of Hearings and Appeals (DOHA) is a part of the U.S. Department of Defense that provides individuals with a fair process to appeal decisions related to military benefits, security clearances, and other defense-related matters. When someone disagrees with a decision made by a defense agency, they can request a hearing or review through DOHA. The office reviews these cases impartially, ensures due process, and makes determinations based on the law and facts presented, helping to resolve disputes fairly and efficiently.
