Everyone recognizes that Mondays are such a day — of a “get-through” day: Of survival; attending to each issue or problem without freaking out completely; of knowing that the day will be relentless, but that an end will also arrive, with hopes that minimization of residuals into the next day will allow for a better tomorrow.
The world has become, in many ways, more complex, of greater difficulties, encompassing a morass of problems to be solved. It has become more difficult for many to “make a living”. Once, a few generations ago, a single-income household could support a fairly comfortable living. Today, a dual-income household is a necessity, and even that is often insufficient to attain the minimal accouterments of middle-class living.
Is it because more “stuff” is required? All of those electronic devices and mechanical necessities — are we tacking on greater expenses in an endless cycle of consumption?
And so the Monday may pass, but it is when that “get-through” day becomes an endless summation of days after days after days such that the weekend merely becomes a short respite in order to recuperate for the next round of endless “get-through” days — when that happens, it may be time to consider filing for Federal Disability Retirement benefits under FERS.
The human body — and mind — can only withstand a certain level of stress and turmoil, and when life become a mere haberdashery of endless get-through days where each get-through day cannot anymore be gotten-through, then it is time for a change. For Federal Government employees and U.S. Postal Service workers who can no longer get through another “get-through” day, consideration should be given to Federal Disability Retirement.
Contact an OPM Disability Attorney who specializes in FERS Employee Disability Retirement Law, and consider whether or not you can continue to get through anymore “get-through” days, when each day has become an unending cycle of such days where you can no longer get through them.
Sincerely,
Robert R. McGill
