32 C.F.R. § 732.21 Medical board.
Title 32 - National Defense
When adjudication authorities uncover conditions which may be chronic or otherwise potentially disabling, they should make a determination (with help from appropriate clinical specialists) as to the need for a medical board. Chapter 18 of MANMED and Medical Disposition and Physical Standards Notes, available from COMNAVMEDCOM (MEDCOM–25), provide guidance. (a) Chronic conditions requiring a medical board include (but are not limited to): (1) Arthritis, (2) Asthma, (3) Diabetes, (4) Gout, (5) Heart disease, (6) Hypertension, (7) Peptic ulcer disease, (8) Psychiatric conditions, and (9) Allergic conditions requiring desensitization. (b) Other potentially disabling or chronic conditions may be referred to a medical board by the adjudication authority with the concurrence of an appropriate naval clinical specialist and the commander of the regional medical command.
