Q. I am a 62-year-old Postal Service letter carrier under FERS with a 10 percent permanent disability from an on-the-job injury.

Q. I am a disabled veteran with seven years of federal service. My duties at my job are making my disabilities (70 percent from Veterans Affairs) worse. I’m going to ask for accommodations soon. If they cannot accommodate me, then I think they must reclassify my job, right? If they can’t reclassify me, do I get to medically retire? I work for the Defense Logistics Agency.
Q. I am a FERS employee and retired military. I have bought back my military time (22 years and one month), and am getting concurrent retirement and disability pay).

Q. I am 43 and recently was retired on FERS disability from federal service due to multiple sclerosis. I know that a person can’t make over 80 percent of their base pay and not have their retirement suspended. I have three questions: 1. When they say base pay, is that just the general base pay for everyone, or does that include the locality pay? I’m in San Francisco. 2. If I’m able to be re-employed (nonfederal) and exceed the 80 percent threshold from this point forward, will I be able to get my federal retirement at age 62? 3. If…
Q. Can you get a FERS retirement, military retirement and Veterans Affairs Department compensation all at the same time?
Q. I am a dual status military technician in the National Guard. In March, I was deemed medically unable to maintain membership in the Guard, and retired militarily. Because I was disqualified from service, I submitted my packet to the Office of Personnel Management requesting disability retirement. I was denied, of course, because my condition was not workers’ compensation-related. On June 26, I received that notification and was informed that my packet was now under review for a “special provisions” disability retirement. That letter also stated it would take two to six months before a decision was made. Six days…

Due to injuries I sustained from a car accident in December, my doctors on June 7 deemed me indefinitely unable to return to work in the title that I’m employed in.
