Persons who object to physical grade determinations or who wish to request a re-examination or change of military service disposition due to illness or mental/physical disability.

Procedure

Procedure type

Appeal Difficulty High
Submitting an opinion, objection or administrative appeal against a disposition or decision already made, or applying for damage relief or dispute mediation. The reviewing body decides after examining the facts and the law, so preparing supporting evidence is important.

01
Determination date and deadline: Counting the day you received the examination result as day 1, the deadline is day 10, and for pre-enlistment examination results it is day 7. If the last day is a Saturday or public holiday, you may file by the next day.
02
Grounds and medical records: Physical grades are determined under the evaluation standards for the degree of illness or disability in the Rules on Physical Examinations for Military Service. Gather surgical records, imaging reports, outpatient and inpatient records, and military-service medical certificates you could not submit at the examination, focusing on records dated before the determination.
03
Filing the objection: Complete the Military Manpower Administration's objection (withdrawal) form and submit it in person, by mail, or by fax. If you faxed it, call the receiving department to confirm receipt, and if a parent or other person prepares it, obtain the examinee's consent.
04
Re-examination in the specialty: After receipt, the examining physician for that specialty re-examines you and explains the result. Illnesses graded only from grade 1 to 3 are decided at this re-examination, and the re-examination may be skipped if you have limited mobility or live far away.
05
Central examination and review: If you still disagree, the grade is decided by an examination at the Central Military Service Examination Center and a review committee, and the regional office issues the disposition within 5 days (excluding Saturdays and public holidays) of being notified. You may withdraw until the day before the central examination; if you withdraw or fail to attend without a justifiable reason, the original grade stands.
06
After the deadline has passed: If you missed the objection period or disagree with the result, file an administrative appeal against the disposition within 90 days from learning of it, and if your enlistment date comes first, also apply for a stay of execution. If your condition worsened after the determination, apply for a change of disposition; those graded 7 take a re-examination within 1 month after the treatment period ends.
