Discharge Review Board
What is this? The Discharge Review Board (DRB) affords former military members the opportunity to request a review that would change the characterization of service, the reason for discharge, and the re-enlistment code (when applicable), based on standards of impropriety or inequity. Bad conduct discharges, given as a result of a special court-martial, may also be upgraded on clemency factors. An Other-than-honorable conditions discharge can impact eligibility for veterans’ benefits, the GI Bill, and employment opportunities.
How do I help? I walk you through the entire process and develop a strategy to get the best possible result, based on my assessment of whether you have a favorable chance to upgrade your discharge. As the former Senior Legal Advisor and voting member of the Discharge Review Board, I have reviewed hundreds of applications by service members and know what the military looks at when deciding whether your discharge should be upgraded. An application to the Discharge Review Board must be filed within 15 years from the Discharge.
The Department of Defense (DoD) issued Supplemental Guidance in 2017 stating that liberal consideration will be given to Veterans petitioning for relief when the relief is based in whole or in part on matters relating to Mental Health conditions, including Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), Sexual assault or Sexual harassment. Boards will examine whether the above conditions excused or mitigated the misconduct that caused a less than honorable conditions characterization of service in determining whether the veteran’s discharge should be corrected.
In July 2018, the Undersecretary of Defense, Robert L. Wilkie, issued Guidance to Military Discharge Review Boards and Boards for the Correction of Military/Naval Records Regarding Equity, Injustice, or Clemency Determinations. Click HERE to learn more about this Important Guidance.
You should speak with an attorney to discuss your specific case and the time limits that apply with respect to cases that involve the above conditions or occurrences if the Board considered your case prior to the DoD Supplemental guidance.
