I’m coming up on a year since my medical was pulled due to the discovery of a chronic illness and I’m looking at long term, but more likely, permanent medical disqualification. I’m being told that if I’m medically disqualified I can either stay in the agency and fill another position through the help of a job search, or take the medical retirement, which isn’t very much for 4 years at a low level facility. I’d prefer to stay in the agency, however I work at a small up/down and there likely aren’t many other opportunities in the area, so I would have to move. The most important factor in choosing the location would be my medical needs, as my disease is most likely to get worse, and there are currently NO specialist in the local area to deal with my medical condition. If I choose to stay within the agency and select a location based off my medical needs, would a hardship be approved for my wife who is also a controller?
Also I’ve been told she can’t hardship to where my doctors currently are, because the staffing at the eligible facilities (within 3 levels) is too high. I’m looking at other facilities numbers as well, is there a certain projected staffing number that they can’t be over to accept a hardship?
Thanks for any help.
