It will be just another week; or perhaps a month; by the end of six weeks, it will all be resolved. But the insidious nature of incrementalism is precisely in the cumulative loss from a retrospective viewpoint. Time comes in ticking seconds; ticking seconds accumulate into a bundle of minutes; and bundles become stacked into hours, days, months — and years.
Waiting on a decision by the Department of Labor for OWCP benefits may be a perfectly acceptable route to take; but then, there are horror stories of delays in approving a simple MRI, leaving aside expectations for getting an approval for a needed surgery or other lesser medical procedure.
While hope may be in things sought for but yet unseen, it is the cumulative nature of time lost which, from a retrospective view, reveals the insidious fallacy of incremental procrastination.
Filing for Federal Disability Retirement benefits from a bureaucracy such as the U.S. Office of Personnel Management, whether under FERS or CSRS, concurrently with filing for OWCP benefits is often a good idea, precisely because it requires a lengthy administrative process to undergo. If both are approved, then one must opt for one or the other. If only one is approved, then the other can be fought for while accepting the benefit of the approved one.
Time is a valuable commodity in any endeavor; for Federal employees who seek FERS Disability Retirement benefits from the U.S. Office of Personnel Management, time management and the recognition of the fallacy of incremental procrastination is an important step in beginning the process.
Sincerely,
Robert R. McGill, Esquire
Attorney for Disabled Federal Workers
