Posted onMarch 4, 2017September 20, 2021AuthorFederal Disability Retirement AttorneyLeave a comment

We enter into this impervious universe in such a state. Yes, yes – there are parents surrounding, love embracing and doctors, nurses and hospital attendants with smiling faces and all of that; but being alone is conceptually distinct from loneliness, and one can be surrounded by a multitude of social acquaintances, family members and close and distant relatives, and still bear the weight of the latter, and yet know throughout that one is nevertheless alone in this world.

Is monotony a negative trait? How about consistency? What is it in life that we strive for, search out and look under stones and around corners? Is it possible that the life we already have, live by and daily “just do” is the one that is fated, meant to be, and of a satisfactory contentment such that change and disruption would be an unwelcome alteration? Why is it that much of our time is given to complaining and picking at dissatisfaction, and it is only when unwanted intercessions suddenly turn things upside down, create a tumult and travail of circumstances, that we then suddenly “appreciate” the simple things in life?

Medical Retirement for Federal Employees: Expectations beyond the norm

We begin the nascent origins of remembrances expecting greater things beyond the normal levels of reality; that is what we now define as a “good childhood” as opposed to a lesser, or even an ordinary one to bear and be burdened with. We are admonished that we can “be anything”; that potentiality and possibility (is there even any conceptual clarity of distinction between the two, anymore, and what of the third in its trifecta – of probability?) are limitless; […] Read More …

Civil Service Disability Retirement: The value of properly preparing

Posted onFebruary 7, 2017August 17, 2022AuthorFederal Disability Retirement AttorneyLeave a comment

Each and every stage of a Federal Disability Retirement process is important to view in the preparation of a Federal Disability Retirement application. You cannot take any stage of the process in a vacuum; for example, answering SF 3112A, Applicant’s Statement of Disability, in and of itself forces one to consider stages beyond the Initial Stage of the process. Questions to ask: Are you bound by your answers without the possibility of further amendments to the narrative delineation you submit? Can changes, amendments, additions be made even after a CSA/Case number is assigned by Boyers, Pennsylvania […] Read More …
