I want to have my Army discharge upgraded or the reason for discharge changed

There is no automatic upgrade of a discharge after 6 months or any other time period. Changes or upgrades to discharges are only made if there is a proven error, injustice, or inequity in your discharge. You must provide with your application evidence and supporting documents to show that there is an error, injustice, or inequity in your discharge.

You may complete an online application for discharge review at on this website and or you may print a blank DD Form 293 discharge review application from the Army Review Boards Agency website at https://arba.army.pentagon.mil/index.htm, Army Discharge Review Board application procedures, and mail it to the address shown on the reverse of the form.
