[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hope your husband can get a RA, but speaking from experience, this administration has been notoriously stingy with RA requests, even for people who have had existing requests for years. They consider disabilities “DEI” and don’t want to accommodate Turk and they refuse to grandfather them. I am a cancer patient with a heart condition and have been able to telework successfully since Covid. My request to renew my accommodation was completely denied by the current administration despite having two disabilities and comprehensive medical documentation ass well as doctors notes.  HR said my official accommodation they would grant was “in office attendance 5x a week, but ability to telework on days I have medical appointments with prior approval.” Which is what everyone at my agency has. I appealed and that was also rubber stamp denied. The next step was to file an EEO counseling request and that was also BS and did nothing. Next step is to request ADR or sue. Thats what this Administrations HR approach is - do everything illegally and force the individual to spend money to sue. which takes at least an $8-$10k retainer and years. And, of course, you have to still report in person while the EEO suit is pending.

It’s illegal AF and against the ADA. I wish there was some kind of class action.

I don’t know a single Fed whose RA was granted or existing RA was renewed. [/quote]

I’m a fed sup and have full discretion over what accommodation… I have granted three in a year, some temp some permanent; you need to blame all the people getting fake RAs, not the administration on this.[/quote]

OP here. I mean, assuming PP’s work can be done from home successfully, I’m just not sure how hers is BS and why it couldn’t be accommodated? (Considering she is presumably immunocompromised?)[/quote]
