I've known a woman on a term position who was able to get disability retirement.  She spends her days hiking. [/quote]

To be fair, the hiking doesn't demonstrate that she lied or exaggerated the disability. I have Parkinsons and hiking is something I've been told to do as much as I can - it helps with strength and balance.

Because of the Parkinsons, I have a RA pre-dating this administration that allows me to stay hybrid.  That comes up for renewal in a few months - if they force me to come in full time I will have to medically retire (and spend much of that time at the gym or hiking).

It will be a waste - I have several years of good work yet to offer the government, and I would much rather be fully employed and contributing to society than living off of the government. But I have no confidence that a 50+ year old with Parkinsons, even one with impeccable references and multiple awards, will be able to find remote or hybrid white collar work in the current economy.  And blue collar or retail work isn't a viable option, due to the Parkinsons.[/quote]
