My health is affecting military duty
Medical treatment, restrictions, profiles/LIMDU, MEB, PEB, IDES, fitness, and due process.
Use Process Navigator →MILITARY DISABILITY NAVIGATION, BUILT AROUND THE PERSON
You should not need a decoder ring to understand what comes next.
Military Disability Navigator connects military disability, VA claims and benefits, retirement, and transition into one understandable path—then hands you off to private MDN tools when deeper organization is useful.

START WITH YOUR SITUATION
Choose the problem in front of you—not the program name.
You do not need to know whether the answer lives with DoD, VA, DFAS, TRICARE, your service, or somewhere else. MDN is being built to connect those systems around your real situation.
I am separating or retiring
Records, BDD timing, health-care handoff, transition milestones, and benefits you should not miss.
Explore transition →I need to understand a VA claim
Claim stages, evidence, C&P exams, wording alignment, decisions, and review lanes.
Use Claim Alignment →I want to understand my conditions together
Build a comprehensive multi-condition package while keeping medically distinct conditions separate.
Use Condition Engine →I was medically separated or retired
Chapter 61, TDRL/PDRL, VA compensation, retired pay, CRDP, CRSC, and TRICARE handoffs.
Explore retirement & pay →I am a spouse, caregiver, dependent, or survivor
Family and survivor pathways will connect users directly to the right official programs and resources.

The website explains the system. The tools help organize your situation.
The Founding Public Beta opens MDN's current working tools while the public knowledge layer expands across the full service-to-Veteran lifecycle. Current tools are free during beta.

OFFICIAL-SOURCE FIRST
MDN should help people reach the right answer—not trap them inside MDN.
The resource layer organizes official DoD, VA, service, DFAS, TRICARE, CFR, state, and accredited-help pathways by user need. MDN remains an independent educational navigator rather than pretending to be the government or a representative.
Unknown stays unknown
The platform does not invent missing facts. It preserves uncertainty and routes the user toward the official answer.
Local-first tools
The current MDN tools keep case answers in the browser rather than creating a central personal-case database.
Professional handoff
When the right next step requires a PEBLO, counsel, accredited representative, clinician, or other qualified professional, MDN should say so clearly.
