Reading essays about foreign lands is often challenging where reference points and contexts are often presumed. One immediately reaches for one’s Smartphone in order to Google the locations in relationship to a country — is it in the south of France, close to Spain? It is near Paris?
Why that matters is another issue — for, somehow, if we can recognize a known entity, it makes us more comfortable in reading further about a strange area unknown. Even if we have never been to Paris, we recognize that it is a large metropolitan city and can therefore relate it to our own experiences. Context is important; reference points to that which is familiar somehow makes for greater understanding, comprehension, and appreciation.
Entering or reading about foreign lands is somewhat akin to preparing an effective application for Federal Disability Retirement benefits under FERS. The entire concept is strange and foreign to somehow whose life has been dedicated to work and advancement. To suddenly have to stop working because of a medical condition, and then to file for early medical retirement, is tantamount to traveling to a foreign land.
To be successful in a Federal Disability Retirement application under FERS, it is advisable to contact a “tour guide” — a disability attorney who specializes in Federal Disability Retirement Law, and thereby show you the familiar reference points in order to maneuver through the best sights, avoid the dangerous areas and pitfalls within the law, and to get you to the endpoint of the entire process: An approval from the U.S. Office of Personnel Management.
Sincerely,
