PEB: Physical Evaluation Board

Military Law Attorney: Injury and Illness in the Armed Forces

When a Soldier, Sailor, Airman or Marine is injured or falls ill, we promise to be there to help him or her get full and fair medical and financial benefits from the physical evaluation board.

If you have received a decision from the informal physical evaluation board (PEB) that you know in your heart is unfair, you can fight it with the help of experienced military law attorney Patrick J. McLain.

You have only a few days to accept or reject the Physical Evaluation Board's offer. You may have been told not to challenge their decision because you might get less in the end. That is bad advice. The fact is, you have a right to a formal PEB hearing and to hire a lawyer whose only goal is to make sure you get the benefits and honorable treatment you deserve.

The law office of attorney Patrick J. McLain helps military personnel worldwide seek placement on the temporary disabled retirement list (TDRL) and the medical benefits and retirement pay they deserve for a serious injury or illness, including:

• Burns
• Back and neck injury (compressed disc, spine injury)
• Knee or shoulder injury
• Genetic disease
• Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
• Any accident or traumatic injury resulting in amputation or other permanent disability

The informal physical evaluation board of the armed forces often offers lower disability ratings than the rules permit. Invoking your right to a formal PEB hearing can be your best chance to get the benefits and TDRL pay you need. Contact our office in Dallas, Texas, for experienced legal advice and representation anywhere in the United States or worldwide.

Independence You Can Trust

Unlike an active duty military lawyer, civilian military law attorney Patrick J. McLain has only one responsibility — to fight to ensure that your sacrifice is honored and that your benefits are protected.

Most military personnel receive little or no help in preparing for the physical evaluation board. When possible, we will have you fly to Dallas so that your case can be evaluated by an independent physician who can help us establish the true extent of your injury, illness or disability. We will then present a well-prepared case to the PEB on your behalf.

Our firm represents TDRL military personnel whose benefits are in danger of reduction by the physical evaluation board (PEB), as well as Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines who know that hiring an experienced and independent lawyer can improve their chances at obtaining the benefits they deserve from the PEB.
