| July 2010: The Attig Law Firm succeeded in persuading OPM to withdraw its reconsideration decision reducing our client's retirement annuity. Upon receipt of OPM's reconsideration decision reducing our client's retirement annuity, the Attig Law Firm filed an MSPB Appeal with the Western Regional Office. OPM claimed that it had overpaid the client's retirement annuity for several years; in discovery in the case, the Attig Law Firm learned that the period for which OPM wanted to claim a reduction was time our client had spent on the Agency rolls for a compensable on-the-job injury through OWCP. Since the time on Agency rolls receiving OWCP benefits was, in this case, creditable towards the retirement annuity, our client was repaid past-due benefits due to OPM's reduction in his annuity. |
