Which DAWG disposition terminates the process without disability retirement?

• A. Return to duty with ACL-C
• B. Permanent Disability Retirement List
• C. Case dismissal
• D. Temporary Disability Retirement List

Answer: (C)

In DAWG processes, dispositions show how a disability case ends. The disposition that ends the process without granting disability retirement is case dismissal. When a case is dismissed, the file is closed and no disability retirement is awarded, indicating that the claim did not proceed to retirement under the current review.

Other options don’t fit because returning to duty with ACL-C means the person is cleared to resume work under conditions, not terminating the process with no retirement. A permanent disability retirement list would conclude with retirement due to a permanent impairment, not termination without retirement. A temporary disability retirement list provides benefits for a temporary condition, which also results in some form of retirement or benefits, not a complete termination without retirement.
