Fers Disability Retirement

[COPDUTY]

I CURRENTLY WORK FOR THE GOV AND IT HAS BEEN AN UGLY EXPERIENCE SINCE I ARRIVES ALMOST 2 YRS AGO. I HAVE 19 YEARS WITH THE GOV TOTAL. IN 2019 I WAS IN AFGHANISTAN UNDER THE CIVILIAN EXPEDITIONARY WORKFORCE. I WAS INJURED I HAD A CONCUSSION DUE TO A BOMBING ON BAGRAM. THAT INCIDENT HAS CAUSED ME TO HAVE EOS ASTHMA WHICH IS CHRONIC AND SEVERE ( i now take shots every month to include all asthma meds) I ALSO HAVE CHRONIC PTSD AND SEVERE ANXIETY BOTH CASES WHICH DOL HAS APPROVED ON. MY REASONABLE ACCOMMODATION WAS DENIED AND I WAS TOLD TO COME TO WORK. DOCTOR HAS ALREADY TOLD THEM THAT THE WORK ENVIRONMENT WILL NOT HELP MY CONDITION. I'M ON LEAVE NOW AND I WILL BE UNTIL MY RETIREMENT IS APPROVE. EVEN IF I HAVE TO TAKE LEAVE WITH OUT PAY. HOW DO THIS WORK WITH W/C?

It seems as long as they're denying accommodations you would still be eligible for benefits.
You best lawyer up to keep them honest.

IN 2019 I WAS IN AFGHANISTAN UNDER THE CIVILIAN EXPEDITIONARY WORKFORCE.

You then would fall under the "The Federal Employees’ Compensation Act"
You need to find a lawyer that handles Federal Workers Compensation claims.
