| Received a DAV call to action and sent emails to two senators regarding:
1975 the Discharge Review Board Accountability Act would require a study on the compliance of military discharge review boards to follow statutory requirements related to the application of ""liberal consideration” during the decision process for certain conditions. Liberal consideration standards relate to a review of discharge status and requests for correction of military records based on mental health conditions to include post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) sexual assault or sexual harassment. The report must cover seven key areas in determining if discharge review boards are using the liberal consideration standards required in their decision-making process.
This legislation S. 1975 is in accordance with DAV Resolution No. 113 which calls for a more liberal review of other than honorable (OTH) military discharges for the purpose of eligibility for Department of Veterans Affairs benefits and services in cases where veterans may have been suffering with PTSD traumatic brain injury or experienced military sexual trauma or harassment. |
