Which group may assign the categories MEB Recommended, Return to Duty, or Other?

• A. DAWG
• B. PEBLO
• C. HQ AFPC/DP2NP
• D. MEB

Answer: (A)

The idea being tested is who assigns the disposition categories that guide a medical evaluation outcome. In the Air Force medical evaluation process, the Disability Assessment Working Group reviews medical information and determines the disposition codes: MEB Recommended, Return to Duty, or Other. This group analyzes the case and decides which path the member should follow next, such as initiating an MEB, clearing the member for duty, or assigning another course of action. The PEBLO facilitates the process and coordinates with the evaluation boards, but does not on its own assign these dispositions. HQ AFPC/DP2NP handles policy and administrative duties rather than making medical disposition calls. The MEB itself conducts the medical evaluation and produces the findings, but the actual categorization decision comes from the DAWG. So the DAWG is the group that may assign those categories.
