DoD Reconsidering Determinations for Some Veterans

Good morning!
Certain eligible veterans who received medical discharges and were rated by the Physical Evaluation Board (PEB) or Medical Evaluation Board (MEB) may be able to apply for a re-evaluation. The Department of Defense’s Physical Disability Board of Review (PDBR) is re-opening some cases for certain veterans who were medically separated between September 11, 2001 and December 31, 2009 to verify that a correct decision was made.
To be eligible, veterans must have received a combined disability rating of 20 percent or less and have been found ineligible for retirement. Former reserve members with more than 20 years of total federal military service but fewer than 20 years of active duty can also apply if they meet the other eligibility requirements.
Questions can be directed to PDBRPA@afncr.af.mil or visit this link to learn more.  
Any questions/comments/concerns? Let us know below! Thanks!
