The PEBLO serves as a liaison between the service member and which system?

The main idea here is that the PEBLO acts as the service member’s guide through the disability and medical retirement process within the Department of Defense’s health framework. Their job is to coordinate medical evaluations, collect and relay medical records, and keep the process moving inside the DoD system. They explain steps, timelines, and options, and they communicate with the medical evaluators and boards involved in determining fitness for duty. The Department of Veterans Affairs health system is a separate track used after active service ends for benefits, so the PEBLO’s role isn’t about interfacing with that system. The Integrated Disability Evaluation System and the MEB/PEB steps are part of this DoD health-system process, but the overarching liaison function is within the DoD health system.
