Army to Review Discharges Related to Mental Health Conditions

Описание: The Army has agreed to review thousands of post-9/11 veterans' less-than-honorable discharges due to misconduct attributable to mental health conditions such as PTSD, TBI, MST, and more as part of a class-action lawsuit. Additionally, the lawsuit alleges that the U.S. Army Discharge Review Board systematically denied discharge upgrade applications from servicemembers with other than honorable and general discharges who experienced mental health conditions.
