The postal service is offering early retirement. I'm 4 years, 8 months, 2 weeks and 5 days from initial eligibility for regular retirement. That would be my 56th birthday.
Even with the bonus they're pitching, it's not like I could live on the early retirement alone. The monthly amount is small, and probably alot of it would go to keep health and life insurance for my family's sake.
I am 90% SC now and could well end up TDIU at some point. Does anyone have any information on whether I would be successful in filing for TDIU if I voluntarily took early retirement?
USPS is a madhouse and getting worse all the time, magnified by my mental issues, and not helped by my physical ones. I want out badly, just have to be realistic.
I think the bump from 90 to 100% and possibly the tuition for my sons college (currently costing upwards of 7500 a year and not likely to go down)could make it barely feasible - if I would be eligible.
