How can I request the VA to change my corrected discharge status back to its original discharge characterization?

So I had a question about something that has got me scratching my head. I applied for a disability rating reevaluation through a company called Trajector Medical. The thing that has me scratching my head is that not only was my rating improved from 10% to 50% (which surprised me) but my discharge status was also changed from a uncharacterized medical discharge to a honorable medical discharge. This is not sitting very well with me because I don't feel as though I deserve to be listed as a honorable discharge (kind feels like stolen Valor to me, which I am not cool with). Is this something I can attempt to request the VA to change back to the original discharge, or is this something I need to learn to live with?

The VA doesn't make changes to discharges, only the separating service can do that. I'm not sure what happened, maybe there is just a misunderstanding somewhere.
Either way, if you weren't kicked out for doing something you were not supposed to be doing, then your service was probably honorable.

My separation papers show medical uncharacterized. But va.gov and ebenefits.gov both show me how as honorable. Should I bring it up to the VA?

PFC John Behrman it really doesn't matter, and the VA can't change your discharge status.

Yea.....Trajector Medical has some interesting reads from folks on the BBB website. Based on what I read, I won't ever use them nor recommend them to anyone.

Ya I read them too but only after I signed the contract with them like a dip shit. But so far they haven't done me wrong.

Your branch of service is responsible for correcting any records or DD-214. I highly recommend contacting a Service Officer from the VFW, American Legion, Paralyzed Vets, etc... to assist you in issues for this or the VA. Using an National organizational Service Officer gets you answers quickly being they work in VBA buildings.
