Which TDRL disposition applies to members found fit and being removed from the TDRL?

Which TDRL disposition applies to members found fit and being removed from the TDRL?

• A. Return to duty
• B. Remain on TDRL
• C. Enter permanent retirement
• D. Separate with severance only

Answer: (A)

Temporary Disability Retention List status is temporary and hinges on a reevaluation of the member’s medical condition. When a member on the TDRL is found fit for continued service, the appropriate action is to remove them from the TDRL and return them to duty. This means the condition has improved enough or is not disabling enough to prevent performing regular military duties, so they rejoin their unit and resume normal responsibilities. If the member is not found fit, different outcomes apply, such as permanent disability retirement or separation with severance, rather than staying on the TDRL. Remaining on the TDRL would not be the final disposition after the reevaluation when the member is found fit.
