Disability
I have been diagnosed with carpel tunnel syndrome. I use my affected right hand
at work to use 10 key. I’ve worked at the same company for 18 years.
Is there anyway to get disability?
Thank you

If the medical reports, especially the report from the hand surgeon, attribute the cause of your carpal tunnel syndrome to your ten key operation at the company for eighteen years, you have a strong case for pursuing a disability retirement.
Humsn Resources should have the documents you need to apply for a disability retirement.
