No, a Board decision will not change a discharge to a lesser characterization. The ADRB may either upgrade a discharge or confirm the current discharge. However, if the DD Form 214 does not accurately reflect the discharge that was approved, the Board will direct correction of the DD Form 214 even if that would result in the appearance of a downgrade.
