Pain is a reminder of sorts; but then, so are alarm clocks, speed bumps and the presence of law enforcement personnel. All around us, through signs, advertisements, smart phone apps, and sticky notes which we write to ourselves, we are surrounded by reminders.
The plethora and abundance of such reminders have never been the issue; rather, it is the responsiveness, or lack thereof, which determines the future course and orientation of one’s life. And so it is with the signals which are transmitted through out biological system; of that nagging hip pain which won’t simply go away; of increasing panic and anxiety attacks which paralyze one with physical manifestations of chest pains, difficulty breathing, etc.
Doctors can treat the symptoms; sometimes, medicating the symptoms lessens the strength of signals; the weakened reminders try desperately to find an alternate route to raise the alerts in more poignant and insistent form; but we humans are adept at ignoring such signage and alarms.
For Federal and Postal Service personnel who have come to a point where the reminders can no longer be ignored, Federal Disability Retirement benefits is an option to pursue. It is available for all Federal and Postal employees under FERS or CSRS, and where it can be established that the illness or disability prevents one from performing one or more of the essential elements of one’s job, there is the likelihood of a successful outcome.
Reminders? The Federal and Postal Worker has already long been aware of them, through the personal experience of one’s medical condition. It was never a question of whether there were reminders; it was always the “when” — when would we finally acknowledge and respond? It is, and always was, just a matter of time.
