Medical and Physical Evaluation Boards (MEB/PEB)
If a Soldier’s physician finds it apparent that a Soldier’s condition may permanently interfere with his/her ability to serve on active duty, the treating physician will recommend the Soldier to the Medical Evaluation Board (MEB) and the Physical Evaluation Board (PEB), which is governed by the U.S. Army Physical Disability Evaluation System (PDES).

The MEB determines whether or not a Soldier’s medical condition enables him/her to continue to meet medical retention standards in accordance with Army regulations, such as AR 40-501: Standards of Medical Fitness. It also provides an opportunity for military physicians to clearly document the Soldier’s medical condition and any duty limitations. If the MEB findings and recommendations stipulate that the Soldier does not meet retention standards or should return to duty in a different military occupational specialty (MOS), the Soldier is referred to the PEB, who formally determines if the Soldier is fit for continued military service and his/her subsequent eligibility for disability compensation.

Medical Evaluation Board (MEB)
The MEB is an informal board comprised of at least two physicians who evaluate the Soldier’s medical history, condition, and extent of injury or illness, and recommends whether or not the Soldier’s medical condition will impede his/her ability to continue serving in full duty capacity in his/her office, grade or rank. The MEB does not drive any personnel actions; however, the findings of the MEB are referred to the PEB, which reviews all MEB documentation to formally determine if the Soldier is fit for continued military service and eligible for disability compensation. The MEB process is usually complete within 90-100 days of initial packet submission and evaluation outcome; however, each case is unique and may take more or less time to complete.

Note: The informal PEB reviews the MEB evidence of record to determine a Soldier’s ability to perform military duties. The formal PEB is a formal hearing that can be requested if a Soldier does not concur with the informal PEB’s findings. For additional information on formal PEB procedures, visit the U.S. Army Human Resources Command Physical Disability Agency.

Physical Evaluation Board (PEB)
If the MEB finds the Soldier unfit to return to duty in his/her MOS, the Soldier is referred to the PEB. The informal PEB evaluates the Soldier’s medical information, MOS, and other factors to determine the Soldier’s:

Fitness to continue military service
Eligibility for disability compensation
Disability codes and percentage rating (ranging from zero to 100 percent)
Case disposition
Whether or not the injury or illness is combat-related
Disability Ratings
Soldiers who receive a disability rating of 30 percent or greater are either placed on the Temporary Disability Retirement List (TDRL) or the Permanent Disability Retired List (PDRL). Soldiers receiving a rating of 20 percent or less will receive disability severance pay.
