Whether variation in DOB is of some day(s), month(s) or year(s) ?

What is your age / profession or job, if adult and doing some work ?

You have not posted the complete facts. Anyhow, the only issue appears to be change of DoB in the service records. It is the general norm that request for change in DoB needs to be made within five years of joining service. Requests after this time limit esp. at the fag end of the service would not be entertained.
