Restoring Honor: How Military Discharge Upgrade Law Changes Lives

GPPR Podcast Editor Kharl Reynado (MPP’23) spoke to Margaret Kuzma from the Veterans Legal Clinic at Harvard Law School and Alden Pinkham from the Connecticut Veterans Legal Center (CVLC) about the military discharge process and discharge upgrade law. Based on experience with veteran clients, they explain how an other-than-honorable discharge can negatively affect a veteran’s life, and how advocates can use the military discharge upgrade process to open doors for veterans benefits and return honor to those who served.
