The MEB tries to assess troops condition by assigning a number - a percentage - to which that troop is unable to perform "normal" activities.
Unfortunately disability rating has become quite murky.
There are Functional Assessments available for the military to use and more accurately assess a troop's disability, but not too many troops go through those assessments. Instead, the MEB generates a percentage based on medical records.
Activities of Daily living are a decent measure for a troop to describe how an injury affects them on a daily basis. [This page] has an ADL worksheet that a troop can use to better describe their limitations. A form such as this can be very helpful in a situation where a troop may disagree with what the MEB states.
This form makes a great attachment to any MEB Appeal.
