[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My RA was rejected and I’ve had it in place for a few years now. My disability status hasn’t changed and the accommodation requested was the same (telework). I got additional documentation from a health care provider and my agency still rejected it. I have no idea what to do but the proper ADA process isn’t being followed. Is this the norm across agencies? Also, all letters and emails are being signed anonymously, so I don’t know who is reviewing my medical records or who to talk to. There’s no negotiating and no required process.  I have been reporting in and my issue is being significantly exacerbated. I seriously want to end it all. I can’t afford an attorney and am a single mom, so this is just horrible. [/quote]

I think the fact that you’ve been reporting in, presumably in-person, isn’t good for your RA request, despite it significantly affecting you. IMO, you probably should have used sick leave until it was approved. [/quote]

What’s she supposed to do? Take leave indefinitely “until it is approved”??? It may never be approved! Especially if agencies aren’t following ADA requirements. I don’t see how an agency can reneg on an existing reasonable accommodation when circumstances didn’t change. [/quote]

She said it was denied, but can she immediately appeal and open up a new case and ask for names and titles for the process otherwise she cannot consider the results valid? And then while it's "pending" do what everyone else is doing and continue to work remotely? I mean it's really a Trump tactic of dragging everything out, so why not. [/quote]
