Can a military attorney support a Physical Evaluation Board (PEB) process?

Yes, a military attorney can represent service members during the Physical Evaluation Board (PEB) process, which determines whether a medical condition affects their ability to perform military duties. The attorney helps review medical evidence, gather documentation, and prepare written rebuttals or appeals. They also represent the member in hearings before the board and advocate for a fair disability rating or fit-for-duty determination. The goal is to ensure that the evaluation is accurate, that the member is not wrongfully separated, and that any retirement or disability benefits are appropriately granted. Legal guidance is crucial, especially when dealing with conflicting medical opinions or administrative errors that could result in unfair outcomes.
