If you are a current federal employee or postal employee covered by the Civil Service Retirement System and you want to apply for medical disability retirement there are two forms you must use.You must complete a SF 3107 form to apply for your annuity. And you must complete a SF 3112 form to apply for disability retirement.Your doctor will need to complete part of the SF 3112. You employer must complete other parts. You must submit the SF 3112 within one year of the date you separated from your federal job.
