We have all seen it: In sports, and particularly in basketball, where a singular player suddenly finds him or herself alone in the open court, the ball in hand, with no one anywhere near. All that the player has to do is to dribble, take a few steps and lay the ball into the basket.
What happens? There is a hesitation. Why? Because the normal course of things has not occurred — no defender, no opposition, no crowding, no attempt to block him, etc. The doubt of openness makes the player hesitate. Or even in football — a wide opening for an offensive back or a catch in the open field, with the goal post open and a clear pathway with no opposition. Then the hesitation, the look back, the sudden doubt of openness.
For Federal employees and U.S. Postal workers who suffer from a medical condition which prompts an initial, tentative look at the forms required for Federal Disability Retirement benefits — the “openness” and simplicity of the questions asked may make you believe that the field before you has a clear and unimpeded pathway. Then the doubt of openness will, and should, suddenly prevail. Because, in the end, there is no clear path in a Federal Disability Retirement case, and the opposition will appear suddenly enough once it is filed with the U.S. Office of Personnel Management.
Contact a Federal Disability Lawyer who specializes in Federal Disability Retirement Law in order to quell the chimera resulting from the doubt of openness.
Sincerely,
Robert R. McGill, Lawyer
