I was medically retired from the military in 2014 after 10 years of service. I was looking at my DD214 recently and it says permanent disability (enhanced) with a separation code of SEJ. I looked both of these up in the regulation and it states that these identify medical retirement that is combat-related. However, I do not have any combat-related injuries so I believe this to be erroneous. Does anyone know the process for getting the correct code put in instead? I’ve been out for a bit and not sure where to start. Thank you in advance.

You would have to submit your request to the Army Separation Board. But there is no point to it. The SPD is used for reentry and has no bearing on your civilian career unless you're attempting to reenter the military. Also you may have been rated for combat related injuries if you were injured as part of any combat related training. For example if you hurt yourself on a jump or injured yourself at NTC

SEJ stands for "Permanent Disability (Enhanced)" which includes, but is not limited to disabilities that are combat related. You can get SEJ for combat, but you can also receive it for non-combat disabilities.
