What is Appropriate When Filing a Federal Disability Retirement Application

[vc_row][vc_column width=”2/3″ el_class=”section section1″][vc_column_text]How does a person learn appropriateness as well as inappropriateness? Does it protect a person from understanding the negative consequences attached to it? What if there is sudden silence, eyes darting and flushing cheeks of the people of a room you walk in? Would it give away the inappropriateness of the conversation or what had transpired there?

How do we know if something is appropriate though? Is it from being told it’s appropriate? How did that person know that something is or is not appropriate? Is it just human nature that lets them have a mindless range about what is and is not appropriate?

For U.S. Postal workers and federal employees thinking about filling out and submitting a Federal Disability Retirement application – be it under the CSRS, CSRS Offset or FERS, the appropriateness of what should be in that application tends to be a matter of experience and discretion.

The form, which is submitted to the Office of Personnel Management, needs more than just medical evidence, but what evidence should it have. Does it needs to include the Statement of Disability as noted on the SF 3112A Applicant’s Statement of Disability form? What amount of personal information, facts and background information is appropriate to include in the person’s Statement of Disability? Do statements from family members, friends and co-workers work, and are they appropriate?

Appropriateness is a matter of perception to the action, and it’s always a good idea to talk with an attorney before a person files their Federal Disability Retirement application to ensure a positive outcome.  A lawyer consultation would be deemed appropriate based on the circumstances and could be thought of as inappropriate if there were no consultation.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”34328″ img_size=”292×285″ style=”vc_box_shadow”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
