VA Character of Discharge Determination
U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs
VA eligibility review for certain former service members with adverse discharge characterizations.
How to get help
Apply for the VA benefit or care sought and provide discharge and relevant supporting information; VA conducts the eligibility determination. A separate military discharge-upgrade request must go to the appropriate service department.
Who this service helps
