Jonathan Bell has had great success in obtaining Disability Retirement for Federal Employees in all stages of the application process. As set forth in our “Successful Results” page, we have secured disability retirement at the initial application process, at the request for reconsideration stage and at the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB). Do not delay hiring a competent attorney to assist you through this process. The firm will ensure that your application is a worded in a way to give you the best chances of securing Disability Retirement Benefits at the earliest stage possible. The firm works with your doctor to ensure that the medical records and Physician’s Statement clearly set forth all the “elements” that the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) looks for when making a decision on your application. The firm will also give you guidance at the outset as to whether or not your condition would likely or not likely qualify you for this benefit prior to you jeopardizing your job status.
There are numerous requirements that OPM looks for when considering your application. For instance, an applicant must establish that they are no longer able to perform a critical element of you job due to a disability and that you will continue to be disabled for at least one year. Furthermore, you have to establish that the Agency cannot provide you with a reasonable accommodation. So how do you do it? Call Jonathan Bell now for a free consultation.
