12. May I bring someone to represent me at the hearing?
Yes. You may be accompanied by an attorney, a union representative, a family member, or anyone else from whom you would like advice or who can present your case. However, neither you nor your representative will be permitted to address the Medical Examining Board unless you are applying for reconsideration of a previous denial. You must establish your eligibility for a disability retirement through the medical records and written statements, if any, that you submit.
