Help for LGBT veterans seeking discharge upgrades

The law requires the Nevada Veterans Services Director to reach out to LGBT veterans and service members, and their spouses and dependents. You can get help applying to upgrade your discharge or to change the narrative reason for discharge. The Director also makes existing how‑to materials available to any Nevada agency, resource center, or program that serves veterans or service members. This makes the application information easier to find across the state.
