Q. I am an injured postal worker and I have many conditions that have accrued as a result of my past 12 years at the Postal Service carrying mail. I just met with the surgeon who did my last carpal tunnel surgery, and he told me that I should start exploring my options and consider medical retirement. Where do I begin to start the ball rolling and who do I need to get in contact with to help me through this difficult time?
A. Download a copy of Standard Form 3112 (Documentation in Support of Disability Retirement), available at www.opm.gov/forms. Take it to your personnel office, which is responsible for helping you complete the form and guide you through the application process.

Have you ever seen or heard of a U.S. Postal Police officer getting FERS disability? There isn’t
much information on any websites. I assume they are (me) treated like regular postal workers.
