Has anybody on here dealt with a dependency discharge?

If so could you please share a checklist of some sort or the forms needed/how the process works.

I attempted to apply for it in the past but nobody could point me in the right direction so I ended up doing a compassionate reassignment instead.

This reassignment was an attempt to fix a temporary problem that has turned permenant so I wish to apply for the discharge.

Any Input is greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,

SPC (P) Taylor

I believe what you are looking for is considered a hardship discharge. At 635-200 ch 6 para 6-3

SPC Taylor, according to the AR 635-200 that SGT Taylor-Campion referenced, you must do an application for separation. The soldier must request, in writing, separation from the Service because of dependency or hardship. - See more at: http://girightshotline.org/es/military-knowledge-base/regulation/dependency-or-hardship-discharge/army#sthash.93kGNTRn.dpuf
With that being said, the paperwork will be much like that of a compassionate reassignment. You will need the application, supporting documentation, and a DA 4187. Please do yourself a favor and familiarize yourself with Chapter 6 of that regulation. Good Luck!

I have a Hardship Dependency discharge. Make sure to have several affidavits and if it involves custody make sure to verify sole custody before application. I am currently dealing with this so I am just warning you make sure it is specified in Reason For Characterization on your Discharge and DA 4187 as well as what is causing specific dependency. Make sure to verify a solution, you are only one able to alleviate, describe what you have exhausted to come to this point. Make sure that you prove permanency rather than temporary.
