It is how a species survives — and even thrives — in the face of changing circumstances. Human beings clearly have an adaptive advantage in comparison to other species; otherwise, how to explain the extinction of multiple others while the overpopulation of ours?
Scientists have noted the general utilitarian talents of our type — not the best at anything, but the capacity to compensate despite our lack. But ours is no longer a world where physical adaptation is the primal key. Rather, because of technology’s dominance, our cognitive ability to adapt is being tested.
More and more, the psychological stresses bombarding us test the capacity of the human species — and we are failing at every turn. The stresses of daily life; the mental pressures; the voluminous demands for multi-tasking just to get through the day — and when a medical condition hits us, is it any wonder that we are unable to adapt?
For Federal employees and U.S. Postal workers who can no longer perform one or more of the essential elements of one’s Federal or Postal job, “adaptation” may require filing for Federal Disability Retirement benefits. To adapt is to recognize and change with the modifying forces of nature.
Consult with a Federal Attorney who specializes in Federal Disability Retirement Law and begin the earnest process of recognizing that adaptation is necessary where change is inevitable.
Sincerely,
Robert R. McGill, Esquire
