What are the disposition outcomes from the MEB process?

• A. Both ALC and TDRL
• B. ALC only
• C. TDRL only
• D. None

Answer: (A)

The MEB process determines how a service member’s medical condition affects their ability to continue on active duty. When someone isn’t fully fit for unrestricted duty but can still perform some work, the disposition may be “Allowed for Limited Duty,” meaning they remain in service but with restrictions. If the disability prevents continuing on active duty for the time being, the member can be placed on the Temporary Disability Retired List, with ongoing reevaluation to decide whether they can return to duty or move toward permanent retirement.

So both creating a path for limited duty and placing someone on temporary disability retirement are valid, common disposition outcomes of the MEB process.
