Integrated Disability Evaluation System

This toolkit is intended to provide quick links to resources and information to assist Marines, families, and staff as they navigate the Department of Navy (DON) Integrated Disability Evaluation System (IDES) process. Although you will find this toolkit to be useful, you should regularly refer your questions to the subject matter experts - Physical Evaluation Board Liaison Officers (PEBLO), Limited Duty (LIMDU) Coordinators or Wounded Warrior Career Planners.
