It is possible that your misconduct related ADSEP would take precedence over the MEB/PEB. So, you should look at fighting the ADSEP as a starting point.
What is your grade and how many years of service do you have (this matters for determining if you are entitled to a separation board)?
Did your misconduct regarding the DUI precede or come after the mental health diagnosis? Do you have any combat-related stressors that may also form a basis for a PTSD diagnosis?

MEMORANDUM FOR CHIEF OF NAVAL PERSONNEL
June 1, 2016
DEPUTY COMMANDANT OF THE MARINE CORPS,
MANPOWER AND RESERVE AFFAIRS
SURGEON GENERAL OF THE NA VY
DIRECTOR, SECRETARY OF THE NA VY COUNCIL OF
REVIEW BOARDS
SUBJECT: Disability Evaluation System Dual Processing
Reference: (a) SECNAVINST 1920.6 (Series)
(b) SECNAVINST 1850.4 (Series)
( c) MILPERSMAN 1910-702 (Series)
(d) MCO 1900.16, Section 6110 (Series)
The purpose of this memorandum is to standardize Department of the Navy
(DON) policy concerning administrative separations (ADSEP) when the Service Member
has a medical condition that may have been a contributing factor to one or more of the
basis supporting the ADSEP. Historically, the medical conditions that contributed to a
basis for ADSEP have been predominantly mental health conditions, including PostTraumatic
Stress Disorder (PTSD) or Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). However, other
ratable conditions, as determined by the Veterans Affairs Schedule for Rating Disabilities
(VASRD), have the ability to significantly contribute to the authorized basis for ADSEP.
This memorandum sets forth policy to standardize the process for these cases, including
the appropriate Separation Authority (SA).
Effective immediately, members being processed for any type of involuntary
ADSEP who have a ratable condition may be referred into the Disability Evaluation
System (DES). If the local SA believes the member should not enter the DES because
they are being involuntarily administratively processed under provisions that authorize a
characterization of service of other than honorable conditions, the case must be referred
to the first General Officer/Flag Officer (GO/FO) in the chain of command for final
determination. Once referred into the DES, these members will continue to be processed
in the DES unless the GO/FO noted above disapproves such continuation.
The SA for these dual processing cases shall be the first GO/FO in the Service
Member's chain of command unless a higher authority is required per references (a)
through ( d), or other regulation. The SA for officers remains unchanged. The SA may
direct separation prior to completion of the DES process if the SA determines and
documents, in writing, that the member should be separated for the misconduct despite
his/her medical condition.
SUBJECT: Disability Evaluation System Dual Processing
For PTSD, TBI or other mental health conditions, an appropriately privileged military
health care provider will be consulted for a medical opinion as to whether the medical
condition that caused the referral into the DES contributed to a basis for which the
member is being separated.
My point of contact for this matter is Mr. Mike Bridges who may be reached at
(703) 571-9095 or [email protected].
