A new email notification system rolls out this month for the Air Force's Disability Evaluation System (DES). Instead of Airmen calling their physical evaluation board liaison officer or the Air Force Personnel Center, they will get automatic email notifications when their case progresses through the DES process. There are four main phases under DES: the Medical Evaluation Board phase, the Physical Evaluation Board (PEB) phase, the transition phase and the reintegration phase. The email notification process begins when the Airman's disability case is submitted to AFPC Physical Disability Operations. The notification emails, sent through myPers to each Airman processing through the DES, further explain each particular step in the PEB process.
