Integrated Disability Evaluation System

 
What is Integrated Disability Evaluation System?
Integrated Disability Evaluation System is a disability process that integrates the resources of the Department of Defense (DoD) and the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to evaluate both referred and claimed medical conditions.
The process is intended to quickly deliver to you a finding regarding your fitness for continued military service and if determined to be unfit, to provide you with a single sourced disability rating prepared by the Department of Veteran's Affairs.
Legal assistance is available throughout the IDES process. The Soldier's MEB Counsel(SMEBC) for the program is located at FT Stewart, and FT Gordon GA.
