Welcome to the PEB Forum!
Welcome to the PEB Forum!
In my opinion, there doesn't exist ample information to make any potential determination as to your "fitness of duty" at this point in time albeit you state that you are currently unable to perform your assigned MOS duties as a 12B.
As such, it's very interesting to hear that you are being officially referred for acceptance into the DoD IDES MEB/PEB process with approved military retirement orders at this point!
Hmm, you may have an opportunity to obtain additional retirement benefit compensation (via a military disability retirement versus a military length of service retirement) if referred, accepted and determined "unfit for duty" while in the DoD IDES process.
Thus, I quite often comment that "possessing well-informed knowledge is truly a powerful equalizer."
Best Wishes!
Indeed, no worries, and you are welcome!
No worries! In my opinion, it's hard to predict exactly how the DoD IDES MEB/PEB shall interpret your IDES case file with approved military length of service retirement orders currently in your possession.
As such, that's why I previously made the comment that it's very interesting to hear that you were officially referred and accepted into the DoD IDES MEB/PEB process with approved military retirement orders at this point in time!
To that extent, procedurally, the DoD IDES MEB is required to review and address all medical conditions (e.g., all injuries/illnesses) on the Department of the Army (DA) Form 3947 (Medical Evaluation Board Proceedings). That said, you must ensure that all medical conditions are accurately and completely listed on the forms provided during the physical examination. The examining physician will address those additional conditions, document findings and, if appropriate, refer you to additional specialists for further evaluation. This may result in additional medically unacceptable conditions being referred to the DoD IDES PEB.
After completion of the DoD IDES MEB, you will review the findings and recommendations, and have seven days to make your election (concur, non-concur or request independent provider review). If you disagree with the MEB or feel there is information missing or not adequately addressed, you may submit a rebuttal. Please note that the Soldiers' MEB Counsel (SMEBC) are available to assist you with any MEB rebuttals. Take care, and continue to get well!
