Attig Law Firm P.L.L.C.

The Attig Law Firm recently learned that its client was successful in his application for disability retirement under FERS, and that the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has granted our client’s application for disability retirement.

The federal employee was a FERS employee of the Department of Homeland Security (CBP).  He was initially injured on the job when exposed to toxic chemicals. He was awarded disability retirement due to the severe and chronic nature of his disabilities, including lumbar disk problems, toxic encephalopathy, vetigo, ataxia, and depression.  Due to the nature of his work and disabilities, further details will not be publicly posted.

Due to special circumstances and the extreme nature of the disabilities, attorney Chris Attig asked OPM to expedite the application for disability retirement.   OPM granted the disability retirement application within four (4) months of the date that it assigned a Claims number.
