Disability Retirement Law
WE PROVIDE FULL SERVICE LEGAL REPRESENTATION, before the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) and the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB), NATIONWIDE to federal and postal employees who have been denied an application for disability retirement.
Disability retirement cases involve an interplay of medicine and law that can be quite complex. Moreover, it is uncommon for OPM to deny an application for disability retirement without a truly valid reason to do so. Because disability case law and procedures are very complex, it is frequently quite difficult for an unassisted layperson to successfully fight an unjust denial of benefits.
For this reason, it is important to have an EEOC attorney represent you to make sure that you follow the correct steps along the way and ensure that you are aware of your rights. We can help you—from filing the initial complaint all the way through the final administrative appeals process.
You have only thirty days to file an appeal from an initial denial of benefits. Barring extremely exceptional circumstances, if you miss the filing deadline, you will not be allowed to appeal the denial. You will be denied any right of appeal. So, do not delay. Act now.
