Abstract: Former members of the Armed Forces who were separated form the Armed Forces during the period beginning on September 11, 2001 and ending on December 31, 2009 due to unfitness for duty due to a medical condition with a disability rating of 20 percent disabled or less and were found to be not eligible for retirement may request a review of the decision. Agency will use information obtained to review the decision in accordance with the requirements in 10 USC 1554(a) for fairness and accuracy.

Emergency Justfication: The Department of Defense cannot reasonably comply with the normal clearance procedures under 5 CFR 1320 since such compliance could cause public harm to specific individuals who are waiting to be granted TRICARE coverage and would delay compliance with the statutory requirements in 10 U.S.C. 1554(a). This provision of law directs the Secretary of Defense to establish a Physical Disability Board of Review to review disability determinations of individuals who were separated from the armed forces during the period, September 11, 2001 through December 31, 2009 due to unfitness for duty due to a medical condition with a disability rating of 20 percent disabled or less; and were found ineligible for retirement.
