It is the final act of the will — of the bridge between thought and action, which will often result in burning the bridge once one has crossed it. The thought-process which culminates in the decision to proceed involves many facets encompassing all of the steps before the finalization of the action itself.
In stealing a candy bar from a store — of weighing the consequences if caught; of the chances that anyone is looking; whether, if caught, would the police be called, your parents informed, etc. Of whether to get married — are you ready for a commitment which may involve having children? Is the potential partner compatible? Can you imagine yourself being together with him/her 10, 20, 30 years hence?
Or, for Federal employees and U.S Postal workers who suffer from a medial condition and need to consider filing for Federal Disability Retirement benefits under FERS, through the U.S. Office of Personnel Management — can you stay at your job until retirement age? Is your performance suffering such that your agency may place you on a Performance Improvement Plan? Are you on the verge of simply resigning and walking away because you cannot do your job anymore — and is that a wise decision as opposed to preparing, formulating and filing an application for OPM Disability Retirement?
Contact an OPM Disability Attorney who specializes in Federal Disability Retirement Law, and consider whether or not filing for Federal Disability Retirement benefits under FERS through OPM may be the best course of action in the progressive thought process leading to the decision to proceed.
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.
