In IDES, which official communicates the final determination to the PEBLO?

• A. The MEB President
• B. The VA Medical Center
• C. The PEBLO's supervisor
• D. The Secretary of the Air Force

Answer: (D)

In IDES, the final disposition decision carries the weight of the senior service leadership, and the official who signs off on that decision communicates it to the PEBLO. The Secretary of the Air Force has the authority to issue and convey the final determination to the PEBLO, who then passes it along to the service member and coordinates next steps with VA as needed. The other roles are involved at different stages (the MEB President guides the medical evaluation, and VA handles rating decisions), but they don’t deliver the final disposition to the PEBLO.
