Every grounded usage appears below with none picked as the answer. Meanings differ by the service that issued the form and, for some codes, by era. Compare the narrative phrase with the words printed on your own form.
Army
Period not established · Grounded in public official records
Discharge for a diagnosed personality disorder that interferes with duty. This is an administrative reason, not a disability separation.
The paragraph number reflects older editions of AR 635-200; the current edition numbers Chapter 5 differently. The code printed on the form governs.

Authorities and pairings vary by service and era; the citations on your own form govern. Block numbers vary by form printing: this code prints at block 28 on the current Certificate of Uniformed Service and at block 26 on the supported older Army layout. The DD-214 worksheet matches your copy.
DoD does not release the consolidated SPD list publicly, so this entry is grounded only in the public official records listed above, each stating the code together with its meaning.
This page decodes the code; it is not benefits, legal, or reenlistment advice. If the entry on your form looks wrong, the services' Discharge Review Boards and Boards for Correction of Military Records exist to correct records. Benefits questions start at the Department of Veterans Affairs.
