What form does the PEBLO initiate?

• A. SF 600
• B. AF Form 618
• C. DD Form 2875
• D. DD Form 214

Answer: (B)

PEBLO initiates AF Form 618 to officially start the Medical Evaluation Board (MEB) or Physical Evaluation Board (PEB) process. This form serves as the formal administrative action that signals the case is active, identifies the member and their medical condition, and coordinates the collection and routing of medical records needed for the disability evaluation. It sets the workflow in motion, ensuring the right records are gathered and shared with the PEB and supporting staff. Other forms have different roles—SF 600 is a general medical record entry, DD Form 2875 handles release of medical information, and DD Form 214 is the discharge/retirement document—so they don’t initiate the MEB/PEB process the way AF Form 618 does.
