Give service members discharged for a mental condition, including personality disorders and adjustment disorders, that do not amount to disability the right to have their disability status reviewed.
Why is this important?
Since September 11, 2011, over 30,000 service members have been discharged for mental conditions that do not amount to a disability. Research supports that some of these conditions can be directly related to their military service. Currently service members discharged for medical conditions not amounting to disability can have their status reviewed. This right should also be extended to those with mental conditions.
