To Whom it May Concern:

This letter serves as certification that (name of patient/applicant) is an individual with a
severe physical, intellectual, or psychiatric disability that qualifies him/her for
consideration under 5 CFR 213.3102 (u), Schedule A hiring authority, appointment for
Persons with Disabilities.

Note: Proof of a disability is required for excepted service appointments - noncompetitive
placement - under Schedule A, 5 CFR § 213.3102(u). Proof of disability is the term used
to define any number of documents which attest to the fact that the candidate does indeed
have a disability. A statement of job readiness, formerly a requirement under this statute,
is no longer needed. The above statements meet the requirements for placement under
Schedule A

Hello, I am having trouble getting my schedule A letter. I have asked my doctor at the VA hospital who told me that she doesn’t know what it is. She then went on to contact a social worker. The social worker has now called and said that another doctor would be better suited to write the letter. Meanwhile I totally qualify because I had it in the past but I lost it. I am also disabled.

Hello, new subscriber, thank you for providing this content. I have chronic back pain, would I qualify for schedule A?

I got a referral before I acquired a schedule a letter. Should I send my application with my schedule a letter to the hiring manager? How would I know how to contact the hiring manager?

[chrisgrady]

What are some conditions I can claim for schedule A? Is there a list or something?

Does schedule A help with obtaining a certain pay grade?

Hi. I'm reaching out on behalf of my adult has AD HD. He is not former military, however. However, I think he will qualify underschedule a employment due to this Diagnosis period my question is, His diagnosis will. His diagnosis was over 10 years ago period would he need to get a brand new diagnosis from a dr?

Probably a weird question, but I would like to ask anyway. I will be receiving my Schedule A Letter tomorrow. However I just applied to two jobs today without it. They are a mechanic and machinist job on an Air Force Base. If I get an interview for either, would you recommend I tell them about the letter to potentially get away from the competitive hiring process? Cancer is the reason for my Schedule A, and it caused me to have about a two year gap in my resume. I don't believe I have any restrictions on work, I'm just trying to use this letter as an advantage to more easily qualify for a government job with government benefits. I understand this is ultimately my decision, I suppose I just wanted another person's opinion.

I am basically fully recovered so I know I am capable for any job as long as I can acquire the knowledge. Thanks for the video!
