We offer a how-to guide that explains the process of applying for a military discharge upgrade or a change in the reason for your military discharge.
We advocate for Bay Area veterans in their VA benefits claims and discharge upgrades. Our attorneys provide one-time assistance and ongoing representation to veterans.
We assist with discharge upgrades, VA benefits eligibility, service-connection claims, pension applications, and VA overpayment issues. All former service members residing in the specified locations below are eligible for a free one-time consultation with our attorneys, regardless of era or length of service.
In-person at weekly, drop-in intake clinics
Please note that due to capacity changes, at times we may need to prioritize more vulnerable veterans including those who are unhoused, lower income, and who experience a mental health condition. We do not assist with GI Bill or Vocational Rehab (VR&E) benefits.
This program is made possible in part by funding from the Bob Woodruff Foundation, which is dedicated to ensuring that our nation’s veterans, service members, and their families — those who stood for us — have stable and successful futures.
If you're a veteran seeking VA benefits, a discharge upgrade, or even just getting copies of your military records, our comprehensive self-help materials may have the information you need.
