This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The joint U.S. Department of Defense (DoD)-Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Integrated Disability Evaluation System is the process by which DoD determines fitness for duty and separation or retirement of service members because of disability. Service members who are evaluated for disability undergo a comprehensive medical examination to document all medical conditions and receive a disability rating for every condition documented during the exam. DoD and the VA use these ratings to determine the amount of disability compensation service members receive if they are determined to be unfit to continue serving and consequently medically discharged. Proposals for reforming the DoD compensation system have been considered in the past, but a rigorous evaluation of what those alternatives might look like and how they would affect service member benefits and costs to DoD has not been conducted. In this report, the authors describe their evaluation of four hypothetical alternative disability compensation approaches that would support a simpler disability evaluation process: compensating based on the current objectives of the DoD system (and using current benefit formulas), compensating on the basis of a military career, compensating on the basis of unfitting conditions, or compensating similar to U.S. allies. Each alternative reduces reliance on disability ratings for determining DoD disability compensation and focuses primarily on a single decision about whether a service member is fit to perform his or her duties. The authors evaluate the potential effects of each alternative on service member compensation, processing times, end strength, lost skills and experience, and readiness.

Download or read book Ides Guidebook written by United States Government Army and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-07-17 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2007, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and Department of Defense (DoD) received presidential direction to conduct a joint program to modernize and improve the disability evaluation and compensation process for wounded, ill, and injured Soldiers. VA and DoD collaborated to develop the Integrated Disability Evaluation System(IDES).The goals of IDES are to:• Reduce the overall time it takes a Soldier to progress through the IDES process, starting at the time of referral to the Medical Evaluation Board (MEB) and ending upon receipt of VA benefits or return to duty (RTD);• Utilize a single examination process that meets the needs of VA and DoD; and• Increase transparency of both the military disability evaluation system and VA claims processes for wounded, ill, and injured Soldiers and their families.The IDES process identifies all medical and/or psychological conditions that impact military occupational function for the purposes of determining fitness for duty and entitlement to military and/ or VA disability compensation. The core IDES process is standardized to ensure that each Soldier, Command, and the Army Staff understand their critical contributions to case processing. Accountability measures based on the minimum necessary standards are in place at all levels across the Army. This guidebook clarifies the processes, roles and responsibilities, and standards measured at each IDES step.The IDES Guidebook is intended solely to provide MTFs and their personnel with a description of IDES practices and procedures. The IDES Guidebook should not be construed or referenced as an authoritative source for IDES regulations or policy. In-text citations refer to authoritative IDES policy and regulations. Readers should always seek out these authoritative sources when necessary and should not, in any case, cite to the IDES Guidebook as Department of the Army policy.

Download or read book Methods & Actions for Improving Performance of the Department of Defense Disability Evaluation System written by and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Disability Evaluation System (DES) is a management tool used by the Department of Defense to determine the disposition of a service member who has a medical condition that calls into question the member's ability to perform his or her duties. The DES exists to evaluate service members with such medical conditions, remove those unable to fulfill their duties, and determine a disability rating for those who are removed. This book focuses on four major research tasks related to improving system performance: developing a basis for assessing DES outcomes, identifying issues of variability in DES policy application, conducting a DES training analysis and presenting recommended changes, and developing a method for continuously monitoring DES performance. As part of their findings, the authors constructed a set of desired system outcomes and from that framework suggest comprehensive training and information management interventions to improve overall system performance. The authors also identify groups of primary DES participants and outline the specific bodies of knowledge and skills the participants require to execute disability policy consistently throughout the military departments.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Feb. 2007, a series of articles in ¿The Washington Post¿ about conditions at Walter Reed Army Medical Center highlighted problems in the military¿s disability evaluation system (DES). Subsequently, the Dept. of the Army, the DoD, and the VA undertook initiatives to address concerns with the DES. In 2007, the Army took steps to streamline its process, and DoD and VA began piloting a joint evaluation system to address systemic concerns abut timeliness and the potential inefficiency of having separate DES. This report examines: (1) recent actions by the Army to help servicemembers navigate its DES; and (2) the status, plans, and challenges of DoD and VA¿s efforts to pilot and implement a joint DES Includes recommendations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report responds to your request for information about the Department of Defense s (DOD) disability severance program that provides a lump-sum payment for certain service members with a disability. You requested this work as a follow-up to our previous report on disabled veterans interest in lump sum versus monthly disability payments. 1 We agreed to examine (1) how DOD administers its disability severance pay for service members with less severe disabilities and the associated administrative costs and coordination issues and (2) the extent to which the military services provide financial counseling to service members receiving disability severance (lump-sum) payments. As agreed with your office, we interviewed DOD and service-level officials and examined pertinent DOD and service-level documents. We conducted our work from January through April 2001 in accordance with generally accepted government auditing standards. On April 19, 2001, we briefed your office on the results of our work. (See app. I.) We requested oral comments from DOD on a draft of this report. DOD provided technical comments, which we have incorporated as appropriate. In summary, we found that the administration of disability severance, like medical retirement pay, follows service-specific procedures using DOD guidance. The services assess members fitness for duty along a scale ranging from 0 to 100 percent in gradations of 10. Members unfit for duty who have 20 or more years of military service with any disability rating or who are assigned a disability rating of 30 percent or higher receive medical 1 Veterans Benefits: Veterans Have Mixed Views on a Lump Sum Disability Payment Option (GAO-01-172).

Book excerpt: Since 2007, the DOD and VA have operated the IDES--which combines what used to be separate DOD and VA disability evaluation processes and is intended to expedite benefits for injured servicemembers. Initially a pilot at 3 military treatment facilities, IDES is now DOD's standard process for evaluating servicemembers' fitness for duty and disability worldwide. In previous reports, GAO identified a number of challenges as IDES expanded, including staffing shortages and difficulty meeting timeliness goals. In this statement, GAO discusses initial observations from its ongoing review of the IDES, addressing two key topics: (1) the extent to which DOD and VA are meeting IDES timeliness and servicemember satisfaction performance goals, and (2) steps the agencies are taking to improve the performance of the system. To answer these questions, GAO analyzed IDES timeliness and customer satisfaction survey data, visited six IDES sites, and interviewed DOD and VA officials. This work is ongoing and GAO has no recommendations at this time. GAO plans to issue its final report later in 2012.

Download or read book Psychological Testing in the Service of Disability Determination written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2015-06-29 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States Social Security Administration (SSA) administers two disability programs: Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), for disabled individuals, and their dependent family members, who have worked and contributed to the Social Security trust funds, and Supplemental Security Income (SSSI), which is a means-tested program based on income and financial assets for adults aged 65 years or older and disabled adults and children. Both programs require that claimants have a disability and meet specific medical criteria in order to qualify for benefits. SSA establishes the presence of a medically-determined impairment in individuals with mental disorders other than intellectual disability through the use of standard diagnostic criteria, which include symptoms and signs. These impairments are established largely on reports of signs and symptoms of impairment and functional limitation. Psychological Testing in the Service of Disability Determination considers the use of psychological tests in evaluating disability claims submitted to the SSA. This report critically reviews selected psychological tests, including symptom validity tests, that could contribute to SSA disability determinations. The report discusses the possible uses of such tests and their contribution to disability determinations. Psychological Testing in the Service of Disability Determination discusses testing norms, qualifications for administration of tests, administration of tests, and reporting results. The recommendations of this report will help SSA improve the consistency and accuracy of disability determination in certain cases.

Book Synopsis Retooling Department of Defense and Veterans Affairs Disability Compensation Systems by : Hal D. Baird
Download or read book Retooling Department of Defense and Veterans Affairs Disability Compensation Systems written by Hal D. Baird and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The DoD and VA disability compensation systems fail to adequately compensate veterans' service-connected disabilities. The DoD disability compensation system provides benefits for soldiers prematurely separated due to a service-connected disability, while the VA disability compensation system compensates veterans for the "average impairments of earning capacity" resulting ting from service-connected disabilities. This paper examines appropriateness of disability compensation provided by DoD and the VA measured against the actual losses of disabled veterans. It overviews the history of disability compensation in the United States, focusing principally on disability compensation as it now exists. It then provides analysis of the actual losses borne by disabled veterans, including loss of military career, diminution in quality of life, loss of earnings capacity, and burden of transition. It provides strategic recommendations for restructuring the two disability compensation systems to work as an integrated whole in which DoD would determine fitness to serve and provide a payment to those found not fit for duty to compensate for loss of military career. Thereafter, VA would establish the disability rating and compensate disabled veterans for loss of future earning capacity and diminution in quality of life, while providing transition benefits facilitating transition to civilian life.
