Military Disability Evaluation System (MDES)

The Military Disability Evaluation System (MDES) assesses service members who are unable to perform their military duties due to injuries or illnesses. It evaluates the extent of these disabilities and determines whether the individual is fit for duty or eligible for disability benefits. The process involves medical examinations and reviews to ensure fair evaluation and support for affected personnel. Ultimately, MDES aims to balance the needs of the military with the rights and well-being of service members seeking assistance for their service-related disabilities.
