Create a new review board for discharge appeals

Warren proposes creating a Department of Defense appeals board for veterans seeking to upgrade their discharges, giving another review opportunity to those denied by their service and aiming for consistency across the services. The board would consider a broader range of potentially mitigating evidence. She also proposes interim VA benefits for some people with other-than-honorable discharges while their appeals are pending, and guidance requiring commanders to address underlying conditions before administrative discharge.

Context: The proposal describes interim benefits for individuals with other-than-honorable discharges but does not specify which benefits.
