Field Problem: What is ‘Med-Boarded?’
My husband is currently going through the medical board process for severe PTSD. His doctor told him that they would possibly “medically retire” him. I have never heard of this term, but I have heard of being “med-boarded.” Can you explain to me what the difference is (if there is any) between these two things? Also, when someone is medically retired, what benefits do the veteran and their families get to keep?
