Some view it as the only option to pursue. In history, General Patton is given as an example of one who never accepted defeat. “Fight on” is a concept embraced by many as the singular focus of choice; nothing else will even be considered. Others may view it somewhat differently — of those who preach caution; that retreat in order to fight at another time may be the wiser course, or to remain static in order to preserve one’s present position, etc.
For Federal employees and U.S. Postal workers who suffer from a medical condition such that the medical condition prevents the Federal or Postal employee from performing all of the essential elements of one’s Federal or Postal position, there is a duality of purpose: “Giving up” because the medical condition is impacting the ability to continue in one’s job, but concurrently, to “Fight on”, because getting an approval from the U.S. Office of Personnel Management is important in order to secure one’s future.
To fight on against OPM, contact a Federal Attorney who specializes in OPM Disability Retirement Law.
Sincerely,
Robert R. McGill, Lawyer
