Separation History and Physical Examination (SHPE) OVERVIEW • The separation health assessment was developed to provide a single separation examination that supports the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) disability compensation program and the Department of Defense (DoD) mandatory separation history and physical examination. The assessment captures current health information in a way that is accessible by DoD and VA.

  3. SHPE Benefits • Provides a comprehensive medical evaluation at separation to include: • Current and past medical concerns identified during military career are documented • Current health status and medical history are assessed • DoD can use assessment results to identify and evaluate illnesses and injuries potentially caused by occupational exposures and physical hazards in military workplaces, possibly eliminating these exposures and hazards and preventing future illnesses and injuries • Is an efficient way for VA to identify service-connected conditions • Allows more accurate prediction of future healthcare needs • Information gathered from the assessment can be used to focus Veteran outreach efforts

  4. DOD POLICY CONCERNING SHPE • All Service members completing a period of active duty as detailed in Section 3 must complete a SHPE • Documentation of the SHPE must be entered into each member’s Service Treatment Record (STR) before final separation from military service. SHPE Includes… • Subjective Assessment of Health: You will complete the DD Form 2807-1, “Report of Medical History” prior to your scheduled exam. • Objective Assessment of Health: The examiner will review your complete medical history (including the DD Form 2807-1) and your current health status to determine if there is a need for further treatment or evaluations regarding any medical concerns.
