FERS & CSRS Disability Retirement: The title itself

Posted onDecember 28, 2017AuthorFederal Disability Retirement AttorneyLeave a comment

Sometimes, it is good to go “back to the basics”. Throughout these blogs for these past and many years, the attempt has been to relate common everyday experiences and life’s challenges to the Federal employee and U.S. Postal worker struggling daily to maintain one’s career and to extend a career in the face of a medical condition. Yet, the primary focus has always been to try and remain informative; to give some sense of the process of filing […] Read More …

OPM Disability Retirement: Mood, weather, medical conditions

Posted onOctober 16, 2017April 21, 2022AuthorFederal Disability Retirement AttorneyLeave a comment

The Age of Science is upon us. No longer do we believe that the moon is a god in the orb of heavenly spheres; that incantations will solve problems of health or bad vibes; and one’s mood is not a matter of environment or upbringing, but can be resolved with a pill or an electric shock wave. […] Read More …

Federal Employee Disability Retirement: The out-of-tune band

Posted onOctober 10, 2017AuthorFederal Disability Retirement AttorneyLeave a comment

There is something particularly annoying about a piece of music, an orchestral ensemble or a simple song that is out of synchronized perfection, or put quite simply, out of tune. The annoyance can be traced, of course, to the origin of the discordant piece; the “band” itself, the group of musicians or the orchestra or symphony that is responsible for the unpleasant sound waves that drift through the molecular structure of the unseen world and pervades down […] Read More …

FERS & CSRS Disability Retirement: Little battles fought

Posted onSeptember 23, 2017AuthorFederal Disability Retirement AttorneyLeave a comment

It is the minor skirmishes of life that maintain the vitality of everyday existence; they are fought in preparation for the greater battles and campaigns. That is why a ‘strategy’ is important; otherwise, taking the same hill countless times in a day leads one to wonder what the greater plan is. For, futility and the sense of meaninglessness are what defeat any motivation to continue. […] Read More …

Federal & Postal Disability Retirement: Youthful mind, decrepit body

Posted onAugust 11, 2017October 28, 2022AuthorFederal Disability Retirement AttorneyLeave a comment

The oxymoron of the objective world; yes, it can perhaps be maintained in the virtual reality of cognitive dissonance, but the human body warns and tells all. The basic problem is that while the “mind” retains an image of frozen time, the body continues upon the progressive course of constancy in deterioration. We all have an image of ourselves, and no matter how many times a day we look into the mirror, that “image” remains with us, as we are not the one’s watching ourselves as we grow older.

Federal Disability Retirement Benefits: The mud of life

Posted onJune 13, 2017AuthorFederal Disability Retirement AttorneyLeave a comment

The mud of life is the stuff of movies; we can romanticize it, serialize it into a best-selling paperback novel (skipping over the formality of a hardback in order to sell to the masses), and even turn it into a weekly television series; but in the end, what it means is that we are stuck in a rut at a gas station in the middle of a desolate desert with no money and no prospects. That is the metaphor of the phrase itself; there is little hope and even a fewer scintilla of a possibility of a potentiality to hope; many times removed, the mud of life is that period that we all hit now and again, where movement forward will never occur, and misery is the fated future forever and a day, […] Read More …

Federal Employee Disability Retirement: The wish for erasure

Posted onApril 14, 2017AuthorFederal Disability Retirement AttorneyLeave a comment

Once, we used pencils because such implements are almost always accompanied by an eraser. It was an acknowledgment of human imperfection, of the potentiality for making a mistake, and the realization that any extent of human activity should recognize the wish, the need and reality for erasure. But that such corrections could similarly be made for lives lived, hurts fostered and damages perpetrated. Yet, the historical requirement that has necessitated the wish for erasure has itself been erased, or significantly diminished – of a conscience instilled and allowed for maturation, […] Read More …

Federal Disability Retirement Benefits: Edifying false gods

Posted onApril 12, 2017AuthorFederal Disability Retirement AttorneyLeave a comment

Are falsity and nonexistence equivalent concepts? If you believe in something that cannot be proven, but nevertheless turns out to not exist but yet cannot be verified with certitude or confirmed validity, is it a “false” belief? Conversely, if there is general recognition, acknowledgment and consensus of agreement that embracing a certain paradigm is an act of futility precisely because it is deemed to be “false”, but doing so provides a semblance and feeling of comfort and security, does such submission to falsity encompass any substantive differentiation from a mistaken but unsubstantiated belief?

FERS & CSRS Disability Retirement: Moving on

Posted onMarch 29, 2017February 8, 2022AuthorFederal Disability Retirement AttorneyLeave a comment

That is what people want to do, and in the aggregate, the world around. In engagements with others, there is a limited and quantifiable extent of patience. It is tantamount to that ‘arc of flight’ that every animal possesses – as long as you remain outside of that safe-zone, you will be a suspicious entity perceived by watchful caution; once you enter and breach the invisible periphery of an unseen arena, […] Read More …

OPM Disability Retirement for Federal Employees: Conspiracy of life

Posted onMarch 25, 2017AuthorFederal Disability Retirement AttorneyLeave a comment

Tabloids lead us to suspect it; odd coincidences force us to confront it; and the amassed aggregate of life experiences allow us to consider seriously the implications of it. Are there such deliberative interconnections that make seeming chance encounters more than the arbitrary clashes of random events, such that they are planned, coordinated and precipitated by human activity beyond mere statistical anomalies? If the creation of the natural world can be acceptably explained by evolutionary forces […] Read More …
