USPS workers no longer able to work due to a severe injury or disability may feel as if their lives are falling apart and have nowhere to turn to. The federal government is known for its stability when it comes to employment opportunities as well as great benefits and as such, last mile USPS workers in this kind of quandary may wonder if their futures are secure and if they can even recover compensation for their injuries or chronic health condition.

Thankfully, the FECA legislation makes it possible for one to be compensated for their injuries as long as they have been in federal service for over 18 months, and their condition is expected to last for more than 12 months. The program, known as Federal Employee Retirement System program makes it possible to receive compensation for as long as the USPS worker is unable to return to work, providing a monthly stipend as well as financial resources so they can receive timely medical assistance during this difficult time. 

However, just because this program exists doesn’t mean that everyone can receive it; OPM has stringent requirements which must be met in order to qualify for the system, and any mistakes may lead to either a delay or denial of your application. The process of qualifying for FERS disability compensation is convoluted and hinges on robust evidence and timely filing of the associated documents and it may be difficult to do these on account of the severity of your injuries as well as not being in the right head space to do the same.

Mistakes that Compromise FERS Disability Compensation 

Here are some of the most common mistakes that may impact your ability to receive FERS disability compensation:

Incomplete Medical Records 

A comprehensive and accurate medical report is needed to demonstrate causation between your condition and the activity that caused or exacerbated or worsened it. An incomplete medical report may include things like incomplete or missing diagnosis report, the doctor failing to mention the ongoing treatments and medications, as well as a lack of progress reports to demonstrate the ongoing nature of your condition. 

Lack of Detailed Descriptions 

It is important that you are able to comprehensively describe how your medical condition makes it difficult or impossible for you to carry out your job duties as a USPS last mile worker, and the specific physical limitations such as an inability to lift packages, standing for more than 10 minutes and so on. These detailed descriptions form the foundation of your claim, and OPM officials will not take your application seriously if they are missing. 

Failure to Follow Up with Healthcare Providers 

It is essential that you maintain communication with your physician as an injured or unwell USPS last mile worker. This is because possession of regular updates from your doctor will add to the legitimacy of your claim and detail the progress of your condition.

In addition, given the importance of medical documentation in the FERS disability compensation process, liaising with your healthcare provider will help you clarify any ambiguities in your report so that everything contained therein is clear and objective.
