The vast majority of us take for granted that we are able to get up and go to work or carry out our normal duties with sustained energy throughout the day. Health is a gift that is never missed until it is taken away. This couldn’t be truer for individuals who live and suffer from a condition known as chronic fatigue syndrome which is characterized as an inability to maintain a certain level of energy for even the most basic of tasks such as taking a shower, making a meal and so on. Chronic fatigue syndrome is a mysterious condition with an unknown etiology or cause, and it usually affects mostly women and can be not only debilitating, but it is also disabling. Last mile workers for the USPS with chronic fatigue syndrome will not be able to lift a finger to carry out their work which tends to be physically demanding, leading to them spending days, weeks and even months on the couch or in bed trying to recover and muster up enough energy in order to get back to living life.

CFS is thought to be genetic, and it has no definite cure, meaning that it may get progressively worse over time and lead to some form of disability. FECA legislation made it possible decades ago for federal workers unable to carry out their duty to enter a form of early retirement if their condition makes them unable to carry out work duties. Because of this, the FERS disability compensation program provides successful applicants with a monthly stipend as well as takes care of their medical and other related bills during their period of illness and disability, with the option of returning to work once the condition has been resolved, or retire if it is deemed permanent. While the program seems easy and straightforward to get into, the reality is that the Office of Personnel Management gives applicants a hard time, rejects applicants due to frivolous reasons, and moves at a snail’s pace when it comes to processing claims. All these reasons are why you need the expertise of an experienced FERS disability compensation attorney so your application can be expedited and approved in a timely manner, and we are here to help with this and so much more.

1. Sleep disturbances where one’s sleep is interrupted by periods of wakefulness, as well as unrefreshing sleep when one finally gets up in the morning
2. Post-Exertional Malaise, where any form of mental or physical exertion may lead to the worsening of one’s symptoms for days or even weeks
