A:
Maybe.
One of the things they look at in the upgrade process is whether there have been significant procedural errors showing the process was unfair. So maybe you have a case to prove an inequity.
NOTE NOTE NOTE.
You have 15 years from date of discharge to apply. This is a hard deadline.
If you have substantial procedural error, the quicker you apply the better-don't sleep on your rights. It's tough to do. Without evidence the Boards apply the "presumption of regularity" and assume the gubmint acted properly.
