When is the Post-deployment Health Re-assessment done?

• A. Within 90-180 days
• B. Within 30 days
• C. Within 60 days
• D. Within 120 days

Answer: (A)

The timing is set to occur between 90 and 180 days after deployment. This window is chosen because many health concerns—especially mental health issues like PTSD, depression, anxiety, sleep problems, and TBI-related symptoms—may become evident only after some time back home. Reassessing in this 3–6 month period helps identify those issues while they’re still actionable and ensures proper referrals and follow-up care.

Why the other options don’t fit: doing the reassessment within 30 or 60 days is typically too early to capture problems that often surface later. A fixed point like 120 days is inside the correct range but the standard guideline defines the full window as 90–180 days post-deployment, not a single mid-point.
