DD-215 stands for Correction to DD Form 214, a veteran abbreviation.
Form used to correct or add information to a DD-214 after it has been issued, such as late-awarded medals, corrected dates or an upgraded discharge.

Usage notes
A DD-215 is kept with the original DD-214, and both should be submitted together when proving service. If major changes are needed, a new DD-214 may be issued instead. Requests go through the service's records office or board for correction of military records.
