What type of discharge is due to a disability incurred in the line of duty?

A discharge due to a disability incurred in the line of duty is classified as an Honorable discharge. This type of discharge indicates that a service member has fulfilled their duty effectively while also being recognized for the circumstances leading to their separation from service, particularly when those circumstances involve a disability that was incurred while performing their military responsibilities. An Honorable discharge reflects well on the individual’s service, acknowledging their contributions despite the challenges they may face due to disability.

Other classifications such as General, Other Than Honorable, and Bad Conduct do not carry the same recognition of service or are associated with less favorable service records or misconduct. Therefore, the Honorable discharge is the most appropriate designation for those who sustain disabilities directly linked to their military duties.
