Streamlined disability evaluation system introduced at Elmendorf
May 29th, 2009
Wounded, ill and injured Airmen entering into the Disability Evaluation System here are now enrolled in a new pilot evaluation process.
This new joint Department of Defense-Veterans Affairs effort is designed to streamline and expedite disability recovery and processing to create improved treatment, evaluation and delivery of compensation and benefits.
In November 2007, the pilot was introduced to the greater Washington, D.C., area and will eventually expand to 22 locations across the country by the summer of 2009. The project was implemented April 30 at Elmendorf Air Force Base. It ensures a seamless transition for the wounded, ill or injured from the care, benefits and services of DOD to the VA system.
