Board for Correction of Military Records / Discharge Review
Fix the record (BCMR/BCNR) or ask a Discharge Review Board to upgrade a discharge. Different boards, different deadlines. A VSO or accredited lawyer helps.
VA can sometimes grant benefits despite a bad paper via a character-of-discharge decision — that is a third path, not an upgrade.
FortSource maps the official page. No claim filed on anyone’s behalf. Not VA, not DoD, and not legal advice. The issuing agency’s form wins.
