https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/what-all-is-included-in-a-fit-for-duty-evaluation <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I was told by the MAJ at my unit who is an MEB physician that I needed to finish consistent physical therapy and get my injury listed as &quot;stable&quot; (off crutches) thru physical therapy for her to recommend me for my MEB because the board wants to see I expended all of my options available to me. She&#39;s on track to recommend me when that happens and mentioned a &quot;fit for duty&quot; evaluation. What does this evaluation include? She said she&#39;ll do that evaluation and after that recommend me for my MEB. Also what is required of me after recommendation or is it a waiting game? Detailed answers would be fantastic considering I&#39;m mostly left in the dark when it comes to this whole situation I am in.

But after all the medical evals and everything else the board has to answer the question of whether you are fit for duty or not. Are you capable of further service or are you going to be medically separated or retired. When you are recommended to a med board you are assigned a case worker who walks you through the entire process SSgt Christophe Murphy Mon, 14 Feb 2022 18:10:05 -0500 2022-02-14T18:10:05-05:00 https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/what-all-is-included-in-a-fit-for-duty-evaluation?n=7527914&urlhash=7527914 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>There are no MEB physicians, any provider - Nurse, PA, or physician can initiate an MEB.<br /><br />The evaluation is your provider looking at your medical history and giving you a permanent P3 profile and recommending you for a med board. Then a physician reviews it and approves the profile. Then the IDES office reviews it and initiates the MEB. Once it&#39;s started, you&#39;ll be assigned a PEBLO who will give you a brief about the process and you should be out of the Army in six months.<br /><br />If you&#39;re a PFC, you will probably not be medically retired but get medical separation. Especially if you&#39;re in physical therapy right now, your injury is not likely to be severe enough to rate 30% disability on the Army side that you would need for retirement.
