Which items are included in medical separation documentation?

• A. DD Form 214.
• B. Medical records.
• C. Medical records, PEB findings, and DD Form 214.
• D. All medical records and nothing else.

Answer: (C)

For a medical separation, the documentation packages three essential elements: the medical records that document the diagnosed conditions, treatments, and prognosis; the PEB findings that capture the Physical Evaluation Board’s official determination of fitness for duty and any resulting disability rating; and the DD Form 214 that records the final separation, including date, character of service, and entitlements. Together, these provide the medical basis, the formal disability decision, and the official discharge record needed for benefits and history. Without one of these pieces, the separation record would be incomplete.
