I posted this on the spousal board but I thought it might help some folks here.
In
my year long fight with the Feds over proper calculation of DW's
FERS disability pension the Agency ran up the white flag yesterday and gave
us everything I demanded. It a pure issue of law. I have reams of
letters from underlings telling me to drop dead . I simply never ever
ever quit. I knew that eventually they would have to defend their
position in public. When that day came, and the matter finally was in
the hands of a senior agency lawyer they crumbled like a cartoon
character.
It's DW's birthday. She kissed me and said it
was nice to have her own bear. Then she said she felt sorry for people
who don't have their own bear.
FWIW the issue affects anyone who retires on disability between 60-62 years old and with 20-29 years of federal service.
