Even with a less than honorable discharge, you may be able to
access some VA benefits through the Character of Discharge review
process. When you apply for VA benefits, we’ll review your record

review can take up to a year. Please provide us with documents
supporting your case, similar to the evidence you’d send with an
application to upgrade your discharge.
