A military discharge is when a service member is released from their military service obligations. More than 200,000 U.S. service members leave the military each year.

Veterans seeking benefits under the updated guidelines can apply for a discharge upgrade or request a VA Discharge Character Review. If this is your first time applying, simply submit your request.
