Relocation
U.S. Army Europe
Overview
The Integrated Disability Evaluation System (IDES), is a joint program between the Department of Defense (DoD) and the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) that allows the disability evaluation system of Army (and those of the other military services)to run concurrently with the VA’s.
It retains many of the same components of the legacy system, but eliminates the requirement for Soldiers to navigate the VA system by themselves after they are medically separated or retired. Also their VA benefits begin as soon as they become civilians. Europe and Asia were part of the final implementation phase and began the new system Oct 1.
Learn more about the background of the IDES program with the DoD IDES Pamphlet.
