Lawyer Representation for Federal Disability Applications: “Too busy to…”

Posted onAuthorFederal Disability Retirement AttorneyLeave a comment

It is the accent and the inflection upon a syllable that sometimes makes all the difference.  Take the following examples:  “I am too busy to…”  “I am too busy, too.”  The extra consonant in the last word makes all the difference; for, in the former statement, if it is stated in response to a call for help, it dismisses the request by informing the other person that one is simply unable to offer any assistance.  In the latter response, the subtlety of the answer should not be overlooked.

Medical Retirement from Federal Employment: What we believe

Posted onAuthorFederal Disability Retirement AttorneyLeave a comment

Belief is a funny animal. So long as what one believes is never uttered, one can change them from day to day, or even from one hour to the next, without consequences attached. Of course, you can do that, anyway, and many do in this day and age. Once spoken, however, a belief takes on the figurine of a furnace-fired ceramic piece; to change is safe only in engaging the linguistic language-game with those who never heard of the belief, but there is a danger that such third parties could report back to the first party to whom the belief was conveyed.

It is, however, how most of us act, behave, and arrive at the essence of one’s being, at more points in our lives than we would like to admit. Life has a way of defeating us. Whether by tumults of crisis untold; loss of family or loved ones; medical conditions that debilitate and gnaw at the humanity and dignity of simple living; or perhaps because of the tiredness which we feel just from the sheer weight of responsibilities […] Read More …

Medical Separation a nd Retirement under FERS or CSRS: The nose beyond which

Posted onAuthorFederal Disability Retirement AttorneyLeave a comment

The human animal has reached a point of evolutionary pedigree where constant vigilance with the outside world is generally thought to be unnecessary; although, still when an individual walks through an unlit parking lot in the dead of night, the hairs which straighten and stand at attention on the nape of one’s neck would belie such an expression of civility amongst the savagery of newsworthy crimes printed daily. Most of us live and walk about completely immersed within our own thoughts and reflections; and when encounters with the “outside” world suddenly jolt into an awareness just beyond, to focus upon the individual, event or incident which indicated a need for such engagement, […] Read More …

Medical Separation & Retirement from Federal Employment: Existence preceding essence

Posted onAuthorFederal Disability Retirement Attorney1 Comment

Once, in the vaunted Age of Reason, when Western Philosophy reached its pinnacle as the conduit of all knowledge, wisdom and human achievement; and when other disciplines fell under the umbrella and aegis of the methodological sanctity of its pursuit; then, it was determined that time was merely a linear ladder to climb, and all knowledge would be captured like the essence of heightened fragrances in a bottle of perfume, ever sweet smelling and able to conceal the undercurrent of stench.  But then came disenchantment, pestilence, wars and human cruelty — just the regularity in the rhythm of man; you know, those things that are inevitable.
