Military Discharge Upgrade Legal Practice Manual Margaret Kuzma ISBN 9781641058919

The need for a thorough, practical guide to discharge upgrade advocacy has never been greater. A 2020 report revealed that hundreds of thousands of veterans have been—or remain at risk of being—unjustly denied benefits due to less-than-honorable military discharges. Many of these veterans have endured combat or military sexual trauma, mental health challenges, medical conditions such as PTSD or traumatic brain injury, or discrimination based on race, sex, or LGBTQ status.

This Manual provides comprehensive guidance for representing veterans seeking discharge upgrades. It covers every critical stage of the process, including fact investigation, legal research, and case strategy before military review boards. Detailed instruction is provided for each phase of representation—from initial client intake and administrative proceedings to federal court review—equipping advocates with the tools to pursue justice effectively.
