Federal Disability Retirement Benefits: Escaping reality

Posted onAuthorFederal Disability Retirement AttorneyLeave a comment

In some sense, everyone does it; in another, no one can.  For, in a general, generic meaning of the term, to “escape reality” is to merely engage in an activity that allows one to take a break from the ordinary and mundane, as in going to a movie, watching television, playing a video game or engaging a game of chess.
