Has anyone ever used the Military Corrections Board process?

I currently have a record of 4 for a medical retirement, behavioral health. I am trying to get it changed to an recode of 3 so I can get a waiver to get back into the Army. I sent paperwork to the board requesting the same but haven’t heard back yet. Was curious to know if anyone has used this process before and the results of so if you did.

Did you get a medical retirement, and are now seeking to change the code to reenlist?
If the code was correct for the circumstances when it was given, it is unlikely that it would be changed because your mental health condition changed.
Documents showing your condition has changed wouldn't have relevance. Documents during the period leading to your separation would have relevance. For those documents, you would have to provide sufficient evidence that they were in error.
If you successfully get it changed, it wouldn't guarantee reenlistment.
You would likely require a waiver at MEPS. You can review DoDI 6130.03 to see if you would require one.
