| Description: | Legal assistance for US Postal and other federal employees seeking to secure their federal disability retirement benefits under OPM. Disability Retirement is a benefit granted by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), not the agency or the DOL's Workers Comp (OWCP). Their criteria they use to evaluate your disability application is very different than those set by Workers Comp. There are many benefits and some drawbacks over the OWCP in terms of eligibility, taxes, limitations, etc. If you are a federal employee (from the USPS, FBI, US Marshals, ICE, etc.) who has an injury or not job-related illness, you need to educate yourself to decide what federal program works the best for you (Workers Comp or OPM disability). |
