Remember that the official Job Description may provide an antiseptic-like delineation of the major functions of a particular position. From that, one may infer, imply and extract the daily physical and cognitive requirements in order to efficiently perform those major functions.
However, in filing a Federal Disability Retirement application under FERS, one must remember that it is never a wise endeavor to think that the Office of Personnel Management will infer, imply or extract anything, leaving aside making the logical connection between a Job Description and the physical, emotional and cognitive requirements to implement the job requirements.
As such, in formulating the impact between one’s medical conditions and the essential elements of one’s job, it is encumbent upon the applicant who is filing for Federal Disability Retirement benefits to make explicit that which is implicit; to reveal that which may be contained “between the lines”; and to make sure that, instead of infering, implying or extracting, that the daily physical, emotional and cognitive requirements are boldly revealed.
