The TDRL decision at review directly influences which possibilities?

• A. Return to duty, disability retirement, or separation
• B. Temporary promotion
• C. Pay raise
• D. Deployment eligibility

Answer: (A)

The key idea is what outcomes a TDRL review can produce for a member placed on Temporary Disability Retirement List. During the review, a determination is made about fitness for continued military service. The direct possibilities are that the member will be returned to duty if found fit, placed on permanent disability retirement if the condition supports a disability rating and retirement, or separated from the service if not eligible for disability retirement. Other options like a temporary promotion, a pay raise, or deployment eligibility aren’t decided by this medical review and don’t reflect the TDRL outcomes.
