Success Story – Douglas S.

Oct 29, 2013

Federal Employee Success Story

We’ve had the privilege of helping countless federal employees navigate the complex process of applying for Federal Disability Retirement. One of our most recent success stories involves Mr. Douglas S., a 59-year-old Rural Carrier for the United States Postal Service from Churchton, Maryland.

Meet Mr. Douglas S: A Dedicated Federal Employee

Mr. S. dedicated his career to serving his community as a Rural Carrier. However, he began suffering from chronic lumbar radiculopathy, an L4-5 disc herniation, and musculoligamentous strain. These conditions caused him significant discomfort and physical limitations, making it impossible for him to sit or stand for extended periods or twist and turn – critical components of his job. The physical demands of lifting packages and sorting mail became insurmountable challenges due to his medical condition.

Seeking Professional Help: Harris Federal Law Firm Steps In

Recognizing the gravity of his situation, Mr. S. sought our help at Harris Federal Law Firm in September 2012. Our team immediately began working closely with him and his medical providers to compile robust medical evidence demonstrating that his health conditions had rendered him incapable of performing his duties at USPS.

The Journey to Approval: From Application to Acceptance

After careful preparation and thorough documentation, we submitted Mr. S.’s application to the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) in December 2012. The journey was not without its challenges, but we are thrilled to announce that as of October 21st, 2013, Mr. S.’s application for disability retirement was approved.

This victory has been a testament to our commitment to supporting federal employees through the often complex and stressful process of applying for Federal Disability Retirement. It’s cases like these that underscore the importance of experienced legal representation when dealing with such crucial matters that can significantly impact one’s future.
