Description

Servicemembers who are injured in war or as the result of accidents and illnesses may face a difficult transition as they leave the military and become veterans. In response to concerns that wounded, ill, or injured servicemembers had to undergo two complex disability evaluations äóî first by the Dept. of Defense (DOD) then by the Dept. of Veterans Affairs (VA) äóî DOD and VA jointly designed a new integrated disability evaluation process to expedite the delivery of benefits to servicemembers. DOD and VA are taking steps to improve the integrated disability evaluation system (IDES) performance, but progress to date is uneven. This report provides information on (1) the extent to which DOD and VA are meeting IDES performance goals, and (2) steps DOD and VA are taking to improve IDES performance. Tables and figures. This is a print on demand report.
