The words "might" can be a reason to restrict this very tightly, or... can also be a reason to circumvent.

"Physical inability" can mean many, many things. I had a very poor performing fed employee who TW and when they were directed to RTO, they immediately ran to quack doctors to have notes written saying they should be allowed to continue to work from home due to (unspecified) physical limitations. Any further questions about physical limitations were deemed a violation of HIPAA.

Same employee was on social media hiking, travelling to overseas locations, dancing with family members, camping, and going to casinos but according to quack doctors, employee was too "physically limited" to commute to an office every day.

Employee used every means possible of complaint, including congressional, and also played their veteran status to to hilt.

Real reason was this employee was running a business at home and needed to be there for pick-ups and deliveries.

Since that one got away with it, we had a flurry of others who used the same tactics. One of them served as the full-time bookkeeper, receptionist, appointment maker, etc. for her husband's business.

When they were identified to agency officials, we were told to shut up and color. Seems the employees were also vocal about pulling the correct lever in the voting booth.
