I have posted the GAO Report on Recovering Servicemembers. It can be found in the downloads section here: Physical Evaluation Board Forum - PEB Library - GAO Report on Recovering Servicemembers
While it is good to see that someone is looking at the efforts of the DoD and the VA in implementing the law, I would say that there is a huge ommission in this report. It covers only the publication of policies. It does not address the more important question of if the Military Departments are actually implememnting and executing these policies.
I can tell you that they are not. I am continuing to see huge gaps in the implementation to the right to an Independent Medical Advisor. This is just one example (there are several others) of there being a policy in place, but no action.
I will post more later, but I highly recommend reading this report.
