Sunday, January 31, 2010 by Robert R. McGill

Whether and to what extent legal arguments in Federal Disability Retirement cases under FERS or CSRS should be made, should rarely be ventured into by non-lawyers.

This principle is no less true in administrative law, which is what Federal Disability Retirement law is considered. I often see non-lawyers make "legal arguments" in an initial application to the Office of Personnel Management, which is then denied, and I then enter my appearance in the case at the Second,...
