It is an exceptional inkling; a necessary premonition so helpful in multiple ways; an instinct based upon — what? How do we anticipate? What is it based upon? Is it merely a characteristic which some have and others are at a disadvantage because of the lack thereof?
How is a tennis champion able to anticipate the moves of his or her opponent? Or a football team, the plays next to be called (excepting those who have been found to cheat); a baseball team able to anticipate the pitcher’s next type of pitch (again, excepting those who have stolen the catcher’s signals given)?
Or, in a Federal Disability Retirement case, how does one anticipate the arguments which will be made by the U.S. Office of Personnel Management, and preemptively answer them with greater efficacy?
It all comes down to: Preparation. The better tennis player watches countless hours of his or her opponent’s prior moves; the football and baseball teams study films of their opponents; the lawyer who wins against OPM takes the experience of all prior cases and preemptively argues the case on behalf of his client.
Contact a FERS Disability Attorney who specializes in Federal Disability Retirement Law and begin the process of anticipation in preparing, formulating and filing an effective Federal Disability Retirement case.
Sincerely,
