The husband of Wolverhampton North East MP Sureena Brackenridge was suspended by the party in October last year after it emerged he had 'exaggerated' his military service as a Royal Marine.
The party had suspended him while it looked into the claims.
He also resigned as then chairman of West Midlands Fire Authority after five years in charge and Wolverhampton Council's military covenant board.
Councillor Brackenridge was accused of 'stolen valour' after claiming he had served as a Royal Marine, when in fact he had only started training with the corps and had not passed out or earned the service's famous green beret.
He faced a storm of online comments and media coverage over his record and had to beef up security, with his wife also reportedly facing threats.
The Labour party has not formally commented on the matter but said Councillor Brackenridge had been re-instated.
