IDES and IDES Separation Health Exam Process

The Integrated Disability Evaluation System (IDES) streamlines military separation by running your disability evaluation before you leave service, potentially giving you a VA rating and benefits decision before your final discharge. The separation health exam is where military doctors document your conditions, and understanding what happens in this exam—and what to advocate for—directly affects your rating outcome.

Why It Matters

The Integrated Disability Evaluation System, known as IDES, is the process that determines whether an active duty service member is fit to continue serving, and it directly affects their separation benefits and VA disability ratings from day one of civilian life.

AI can help service members moving through IDES understand each step of the process, review their medical evaluation board findings, and prepare written responses that accurately represent the severity of their conditions before final decisions are made.
