The joint DOD-VA process by which DOD determines whether ill or injured service members are fit for continued military service and DOD and VA determine appropriate benefits for Service members who are separated or retired for disability. In the IDES, the Service member receives a single set of physical disability examinations conducted according to VA examination protocols, a proposed disability rating prepared by VA for use by DOD, and simultaneous processing by both departments to ensure the earliest possible provision of disability benefits for those who must leave military service.
