PEBLO duties: Which statement describes one of the PEBLO duties?

• A. Counsels members or NOK on PEB findings and disposition as documented on AF Form 356, Findings and Recommended Disposition of USAF Physical Evaluation Board
• B. Completes AF Form 618, Medical Board Report; obtains signatures from the board members and the approval authority; and assembles the attachments to AF Form 618, Medical Board Report
• C. Assists the evaluee in resolving any questions concerning the content of the report or summary
• D. Obtains evaluee or NOK signature on AF Form 618, Medical Board Report, forwards the completed MEB package to the disposition authority, and makes proper distribution of that authority's responses

Answer: (D)

PEBLO duties focus on coordinating the medical evaluation board process and handling the paperwork and communications that move it forward. The best description is the one that recognizes obtaining signatures on the AF Form 618, forwarding the completed Medical Board Report package to the disposition authority, and ensuring the disposition authority’s responses are properly distributed to the evaluee and next of kin. This captures the core administrative and communications role of the PEBLO in leaving the evaluee’s case advancing through the system and making sure all parties receive the official decisions.

Other options describe activities that are either more about explaining findings or relating to the board secretary’s tasks. Counseling on PEB findings and disposition or assisting with questions about the report’s content can occur, but they do not define the primary, formal duty of securing signatures, routing the MEB package, and distributing the disposition responses.
