Section 1372. Grade on retirement for physical disability: members of armed forces
Unless entitled to a higher retired grade under some other
provision of law, any member of an armed force who is retired for
physical disability under section 1201 or 1204 of this title, or
whose name is placed on the temporary disability retired list under
section 1202 or 1205 of this title, is entitled to the grade
equivalent to the highest of the following:
(1) The grade or rank in which he is serving on the date when
his name is placed on the temporary disability retired list or,
if his name was not carried on that list, on the date when he is
retired.
(2) The highest temporary grade or rank in which he served
satisfactorily, as determined by the Secretary of the armed force
from which he is retired.
(3) The permanent regular or reserve grade to which he would
have been promoted had it not been for the physical disability
for which he is retired and which was found to exist as a result
of a physical examination.
(4) The temporary grade to which he would have been promoted
had it not been for the physical disability for which he is
retired, if eligibility for that promotion was required to be
based on cumulative years of service or years of service in grade
and the disability was discovered as a result of a physical
examination.
