| Disability Effective Date | | Description | Disability Effective Date is the calendar date on which a DoD Military Service member's disability began, as determined by the Physical Evaluation Board (PEB).
Usage
Disability Effective Date, when used with a Disability Duration Type value of "Temporary", establishes the timeframe for a DoD Military Service member's assignment to the Temporary Disability Retired List. Disability Effective Date, when used with a Disability Duration Type value of "Permanent", establishes the date on which the permanent disability retirement of a DoD Military Service member is initiated. The results of an unfit disability determination are used to monitor the DoD Military Service member's progress during the time the DoD Military Service member is temporarily retired because of the disability and to provide the Department of Veteran's Affairs with the information needed to process the DoD Military Service member's claim for a Service connected disability. An unfit disability determination can also result in the permanent retirement of the DoD Military Service member or in some cases discharge. | |
