O.K. brothers and sisters-
I need help and ASAP
I wanted to go out this April when I turn 62, I would have 19 years in FERS of course.Originally wanted to go to 2011.
I had a neck fusion surgery in 2005. On my way to work the other day, I was re-ended on the freeway, and really messed up my neck. I am out a week, for now.
If I attempt to go back to work, I could injure myself even more. I just don't want to risk it.
I asked for fmla, sick leave, and they want me to use my annual, or LWOP. So they are already posturing to come after me.If I do go back it would be with so many restrictions, I know they would not want to accommodate, and I would be a prime target for NRP.

My knee-jerk reaction is to put the form in for disability retirement, and go out with what I have.

Any sugestions would be greatly appreciated. I am on so many meds. right now it is hard to even think straight.
