Review discharge status for service members discharged under “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell”
Gwen Moore joined 32 Democratic colleagues in urging the Defense Department to create procedures that make it easier for people discharged under “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” to challenge a discharge characterization they believe was inappropriate. Those whose cases succeed could have their discharge status restored and become eligible for veterans’ benefits.
Context: This was a joint letter; benefits restoration was conditional on a successful case.
In their own words
We urge you to study and implement procedures to make it easier for those who believe their discharge characterization under DADT was inappropriate to make their case to the VA
