In a medical board, what takes place?
The board determines if a service member’s medical condition is severe enough to prevent him or her from continuing to serve in a full duty capacity after considering the service member’s medical history and current state, documenting the severity of the injury or illness. The process for medical discharge begins with the MEB. The Medical Evaluation Board is consulted when a service member has a medical condition that renders them unfit for duty. The Board evaluates their conditions and recommends to the Physical Evaluation Board which ones qualify as unfit.The MEB is called into session once the medical retention decision point has been reached or when the service member’s doctor predicts that he or she won’t be able to return to duty due to illness.
An MD board is started by whom?
Medical boards are started by the Military Treatment Facility; the member’s command is not required to take any action. Both the future of your family and your future in the military may be significantly impacted by the decisions made by these boards. You can challenge an MEB/PEB decision if you think it was made unfairly or incorrectly in relation to your health or potential military career.
