I'm grandfathered in with OWCP Compensation pay. I was taken off of my OPM Disability by OWCP. With a statement that I'd be retrained and put in another position. Which never happened. So am I still allowed to file for a SSDI?

At the end of the video, concerning being moved to another position, outside your unit, due to no positions meeting your medical needs. You said your dept can start separation at anytime. ? If a person files earlier than company separates, does that help? I've heard of a nurse, back injury, put in another unit, non medical office for 17 years, cause the desk position met her medical needs. Minus if she complained can't sit or stand for long periods, then I heard she could've got dis.retirment.
