When does the three-month grace period begin for a member in conditional pay status injured on November 12?

In situations where a member is in conditional pay status due to an injury, the three-month grace period begins the month following the injury. Since the injury occurred on November 12, the grace period starts on December 1. This timing allows for administrative processes to be aligned and ensures that any necessary evaluations or considerations regarding the member's pay status can take place without interruption.

The grace period is designated to provide time for the member to recover and address any issues that may arise from their conditional pay status, but it does not begin until the month following the incident. Therefore, December is when the grace period officially starts, making it the correct answer.
