Is Tdrl considered active duty?
No, when you are placed on TDRL, you are considered “retired” and are not accruing time toward active duty. However, if your condition stabilizes and you are still qualified for TDRL after three years, you will be moved to PDRL regardless of how long your term of active duty was prior to going on TDRL.
How do you know if you are Tdrl or PDRL?
If your disability stabilizes and is rated at 30 percent or greater, you will be transferred to the Permanent Disability Retired List (PDRL). If your disability stabilizes and is rated at less than 30 percent and you do not have 20 years of service, you will be discharged from the TDRL with severance pay.
Are you still in the military on Tdrl?
When you are put on TDRL, you are effectively medically retired from the military and eligible to receive medical retirement benefits with a minimum 50% rating.

Can a PEB place a person on a TDRL?
Only the Physical Evaluation Board (PEB) can place a service member on Temporary Disability Retired List. The PEB is the final board in the DoD Disability Process before a service member is separated from the military. In the past, TDRL was fairly rare since the DoD would seldom start the disability process before a condition was mostly stable.
What’s the difference between a TDRL and a pdrl?
The Temporary Disability Retired List (TDRL) is only for service-members with medical conditions that could improve for a return to active duty. The Permanent Disability Retired List (PDRL) is for service-members with medical conditions that are not expected to improve enough to return them to active duty.
