If you are still employed in your federal position, then no, there is no deadline to apply.
However, if you have been separated from service, there is a strict one-year deadline to apply for Federal Disability Retirement. This means that you have exactly 1 year from your date of separation to apply and be eligible for the benefit.
Don’t wait, there is no getting around this deadline.
