What does ADRB mean in MILITARY

The Army Disability Review Board (ADRB) is an independent, non-medical board that reviews disability claims submitted by Army personnel and their dependents.

Any active duty, reserve component, retired or former member of the U.S. Armed Forces can submit an appeal to the ADRB. This includes members of the National Guard and those who served in any branch of military service, including veterans who have already been medically discharged due to disability.

There is no deadline for submitting an appeal to the ADRB; however, it is beneficial for claimants to file as soon as possible in order to receive timely decisions from the board.

The ADRB reviews all available medical evidence related to the claimant's disability claim, including any applicable reports or records from previous medical evaluations and/or treatment received while on active duty or after separation from service due to medical reasons. Additionally, other relevant documents such as statements from family members or supporting witnesses may be required as part of a claim's review process.

The length of time necessary for the ADRB to make a decision varies depending on factors such as complexity of issues addressed in the claim, medical conditions present, availability of records needed for review, etc. Generally speaking though, most appeals are decided within 60 days from receipt by the board. Decisions are normally sent directly to claimants via postal mail unless alternative arrangements have been made in advance with appropriate parties prior to submission.
