Federal Disability Retirement Claims: Of fortunes unattained

August 15, 2018

Here, of the story untold: “He woke up and went into the bathroom, and there found an old man staring at him. There was no voice that called; no utterance of a salutation so early in the morning. The corrugated skin of this stranger was pulled back, revealing deep cuts in the rivulets of age where time had taken its toll. His hair was unkempt; thinning and grey, with speckles of white reaching deep within the roots of timeless agony. […]

Federal Employee Disability Information: Mortality averted

April 24, 2018

Does it occur when the body is entombed? Or, perhaps, like children who play “king of the hill”, the exhilarating feeling that overwhelms when once you are alone on top of the hill, unchallenged, identified as the winner of a game otherwise known to be silly but at least for the moment, […]

Federal Disability Retirement: As life passes by

October 25, 2017

It seems to come and go imperceptibly; we barely notice; then, one day, we wake up and life has passed by; the past is now an elongated prism through which we judge the remainder of our lives; the present is but the despair we feel because of wasted time allowed to blur beyond into a vestige of forgotten winds; and the future remains as the uncertainty we quivered about before we grew up.

OPM Disability Retirement: Pursuing the Daily Divide

September 14, 2015

The bifurcation of our lives is a habit of accepted normative behavior; for most, it is the simple divide between one’s personal life and professional endeavors; then, there are sub-categories of complicated spectrums, where criminal activity is pigeonholed from a daytime semblance of respectability, or deviant behavior is concealed from one’s reputation and facade of societal refinement. Those separations make for ease of transition, or used to. […]

OPM Medical Retirement Attorney: Formulating the Effective Case

May 4, 2015

Is it inherently presupposed that a case to be formulated is one which should be “effective”? By the insertion of that term, of course, it immediately implies a retrospective vantage point — an “ends” to “means” view of an outcome-based approach. If a Federal or Postal employee who files for Federal Disability Retirement benefits, whether under FERS, CSRS or CSRS Offset, receives a denial from the U.S. Office of Personnel Management, one assumes that the case was not “effectively” formulated.
