Postal & Federal Employee Disability Retirement Benefits: When Curiosity Fades

Posted onAugust 24, 2015January 19, 2021AuthorFederal Disability Retirement Attorney2 Comments

It is that compelling feature for animals and humans alike (if one is to make a distinction between the two); of an innate sense for the extraordinary, and a need to figure out change, reveal the hidden vortex of anomalies, and uncover the mystery behind the curtain. Shakespeare made reference to the known proverb in Much Ado about Nothing, and it was originally meant as a forewarning for those who meddle in other’s affairs; but it is curiosity, indeed, which maintains an evolutionary compulsion to strive forth, to manifest life and liveliness in the face of dull acceptance and loss of inherent inquisitiveness.

OPM Disability Retirement: That Song That Won’t Go Away

Posted onJuly 20, 2015March 14, 2022AuthorFederal Disability Retirement Attorney2 Comments

There is that song, tune, jingle, etc., that sticks to the mind and refuses to go away; and the circularity of the anomaly is that, the more one tries to expunge the melody from one’s mind, the greater the force of staying power; it is only when we “give in” to the persistence, and “give up” trying so hard in suppressing beyond the subconscious, that there comes a time when we can give a sigh of relief and acknowledge, […] Read More …

Federal & USPS Disability Retirement: The Advantage of Persistence

Posted onJune 17, 2015AuthorFederal Disability Retirement Attorney3 Comments

If there are innate, underlying underpinnings of genetic inlays which provide for greater advantages in the evolutionary progression for those who consider survival of the fittest to be the teleological force behind man’s advancement, then the character trait of persistence must be one such data entry. It is certainly a personality pre-condition for the meanest, most hostile and unrelenting individuals and organizations across the spectrum. Like the wild dog with the unbreakable jawbone, persistence is that trait where relenting is not an option, and where right or wrong is not the standard which guides or otherwise influences the decision-making process of an individual who embraces a course of action.

Federal & Postal Disability Retirement Lawyer: Figures Larger than Life

Posted onJune 16, 2015AuthorFederal Disability Retirement Attorney2 Comments

Once, mythological figures and characters looming larger than life itself wandered amidst the common populace of everyday working folks; their very presence bestowed a greater sense of purpose, of a pride in knowing that better days lay ahead, and that even in the upheavals of tempestuous travails and turmoils which interrupted every economy and fiefdom because of the inevitable vicissitudes of economic activity, that somehow we would all survive through the common efforts of community.

Federal Disability Retirement Lawyer: Catharsis

Posted onJune 2, 2015AuthorFederal Disability Retirement AttorneyLeave a comment

Medically, it is the process of purgation; in experiential moments of truth and recognition, it is the causal impetus to sudden change or need of change. For Federal employees and U.S. Postal workers who suffer from a medical condition, there comes a time when recognition of the linkage between the medical condition and the mandate for change conjoins to create a cathartic moment of realization. We can fight against it; one can ignore, disregard, suppress or otherwise pretend;[…] Read More …

Federal Disability Retirement Lawyer: Time Was, When…

Posted onJune 1, 2015AuthorFederal Disability Retirement Attorney1 Comment

Reminiscences represent a harbinger of the state of existence and the mental attitude of individuals; once engaged, they reveal the past-oriented focus, as opposed to the future dreams of youth. Do young people reminisce? At what point does one engage in such leisurely exercise? And the spectrum of historical context, or the lack thereof — does the limited span of a past life determine the narrow course of future remembering? […] Read More …

OPM Disability Retirement Lawyer: Preemptive Actions

Posted onMay 5, 2015November 9, 2021AuthorFederal Disability Retirement AttorneyLeave a comment

Knowledge can be a dangerous commodity; partial, or little knowledge, can be all the more damaging, precisely because actions can result based upon incomplete information and slices of factually curtailed composites. The Court of the Appeals for the Federal Circuit has previously pointed out one of the methodological deficiencies engaged in by the U.S. Office of Personnel Management, in its review and determination of Federal Disability Retirement cases: of focusing upon that which is not included in a Federal Disability Retirement application, as opposed to reviewing the information of what has been received.

OPM Medical Retirement Attorney: Formulating the Effective Case

Posted onMay 4, 2015March 9, 2022AuthorFederal Disability Retirement Attorney5 Comments

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, […] Read More …
