Recently the Department of Defense Military Health System has implemented the Physical Disability Board of Review (PDBR) through a legislation of Congress "to ensure the accuracy and fairness of combined disability ratings of 20% or less assigned to service members who were discharged between September 11, 2001 and December 31, 2009."

According to the Department of Defense website, "Veterans who have been medically separated from the U.S. Military between September 11, 2001 and December 31, 2009 now have the opportunity to have their disability ratings reviewed by the Physical Disability Board of Review (PDBR) to ensure fairness and accuracy."
