Line of Duty Determination Request

A Line of Duty Determination Request is a document used to initiate an investigation into whether an injury, illness, or death occurred in the line of duty. Key features include:

1. Personal information of the service member

2. Date, time, and location of the incident

3. Description of the injury, illness, or circumstances of death

4. Witness statements (if available)

5. Preliminary assessment of duty status at the time of incident

This request initiates an official process to determine if an injury, illness, or death was service-related, which can impact benefits, medical care, and other entitlements for the service member or their dependents.
