Frequently Asked Question

What type of medical support do I need for my Federal Disability Retirement claim?

# Back to all FAQs

When applying for Federal Disability Retirement, it is important to gather the proper medical documents that fully support your claim. These documents must state that your medical condition is prohibiting you from performing at least ONE of your required job duties and that this condition is expected to last a minimum of 12 months.

Many doctors are unaware of the unique requirements of Federal Disability Retirement, so it is a huge benefit to have an experienced legal team helping you acquire the correct medical evidence.

Examples of medical support include but are not limited to Doctor Narratives, work restriction documents, work excuses, functional capacity evaluation, and FMLA forms.
