You can gather all of the available facts, and yet still make the wrong decision because you fail to have the proper perspective. To have the right perspective, you must assess and evaluate the facts as presented and arrive at the best judgment based upon a proper perspective. The “proper perspective”, moreover, is often based upon a lifetime of habits formed in how one engages the facts amassed.
Do you allow for emotional prejudices to cloud your judgment, or have you cultivated a habit of dispassionate review? Are you able to set aside the overwhelming sense of panic which can lead to a reactionary course of response, or can you set the issue aside and come back to it with a reserved approach of greater objectivity?
In most cases encompassing a variety of facts, a requirement of interpretive analysis must occur, and that process of arriving at the best course of action in determining the comparative and superlative degrees of a judgment does not necessarily mean that there is a singular “best” course, for reasonable people may differ on that.
And, of course, that is the proverbial “rub” of the issue — that the proper perspective arrived at the time may not lead to the best action to be taken, but merely that, given a set of facts analyzed at a given time and place, it is the “proper” one for the moment. Other facts and circumstances may come into play if left to ponder, but because an imminent decision must be made, it is often enough to rely upon one’s best judgment in moving forward.
For Federal employees and U.S. Postal workers who suffer from a chronic illness or injury such that an application for Federal Disability Retirement benefits under the FERS system must be considered, arriving at the proper perspective will often be clouded by the medical condition itself. As such, it is important to have the assistance of a lawyer who specializes in Federal Disability Retirement Law in order to provide the proper perspective in fighting against OPM for your rights.
The perspective of the U.S. Office of Personnel Management is always that no Federal or Postal employee qualifies for Federal Disability Retirement, and will often deny a case by making it appear that you had no chance for success, to begin with. However, that approach is not the right or proper perspective, and the way to counter OPM and arrive at the proper perspective is to apply the law.
Contact a Federal Lawyer who specializes in Federal Disability Retirement Law, and respond with the proper perspective.
Sincerely,
Robert R. McGill, Lawyer exclusively representing Federal and Postal employees to secure their Federal Disability Retirement benefits under FERS from the U.S. Office of Personnel Management.
