Which statement is a responsibility of the PEBLO?

• A. Conducts medical board hearings.
• B. Schedules physical therapy for all service members.
• C. Maintains unit readiness rosters.
• D. Ensures MEB cases referred to the PEB are current, complete, accurate, and fully documented.

Answer: (D)

The responsibility being tested is the ability to ensure that every case referred to the physical evaluation board is current, complete, accurate, and fully documented. A PEBLO serves as the liaison in the medical-legal process, gathering and validating all necessary medical records, forms, and prognostic information, and confirming that the package has everything required before it goes forward. This role helps prevent delays and ensures the PEB has a clear, accurate picture of the member’s medical condition and eligibility. Other tasks described don’t fit the PEBLO role. Conducting medical board hearings is handled by the medical board process itself, not by the PEBLO. Scheduling physical therapy for all service members is a general medical treatment function, not a PEB-specific responsibility. Maintaining unit readiness rosters is a unit administration task unrelated to managing MEB/PEB documentation and referrals.
