After the MEB determines if you meet medical retention standards, your case moves to the Physical Evaluation Board for a formal fitness decision. But before rendering that official ruling, the PEB follows an informal determination process outlined in AR 635-40.

This episode pulls back the curtain on what happens in that critical informal PEB phase, including:

How the informal board convenes and reviews your case file, MEB findings, and evidence.

They assess your conditions against retention standards per AR 635-40 guidelines.

Opportunities for you to submit a rebuttal or additional evidence before formalization.

The informal board's preliminary fitness and rating recommendations.

Potential outcomes like return to duty, permanent disability retirement, or separation.

Understanding these informal PEB determination steps is crucial for leveraging your rights and having a voice in this closed-door process. We'll ensure you know what to expect and how to advocate for a fair ruling.

From start to potential rebuttal, get a transparent look at the PEB's informal workout of your case - and how you can influence it by understanding AR 635-40.
