If you were disqualified as a candidate for a law enforcement or other civil service position for medical reasons, the first thing you should do is hire a qualified, experienced medical disqualification appeal lawyer, who thoroughly understands the appeal process and will examine your particular case to determine whether or not you have grounds for a medical disqualification appeal. In addition, you will need to obtain a second opinion from an independent doctor who specializes in the area specific to the reason for your disqualification. This doctor will medically evaluate you and negate any negative and/or erroneous findings reported by the NYPD medical doctor.

There are many reasons why a candidate might be medically disqualified, such as hearing, vision, cardiac, pulmonary or orthopedic issues.

If you were disqualified as a candidate for a law enforcement or other civil service position for psychological reasons, the first thing you should do is hire an experienced and qualified disqualification appeal lawyer, who thoroughly understands the appeal process and will examine your particular case to determine whether or not you have grounds for a psychological disqualification appeal. In addition, you will need to hire a Mental Health Professional who will evaluate you and then negate any negative findings reported by the NYPD psychologist. Kevin can assist you with this task as well, as he works with several psychologists who specialize in this area of forensic psychology.

There are many reasons why a candidate might be psychologically disqualified, such as issues brought to light during the psychological evaluation process, including any arrest history, driving record, employment history, disciplinary issues in school, alcohol and/or drug or other substance misuse/abuse, interpersonal history, educational history, mental health history, prior psychological prescription drug use and psychological test results.

While it is disappointing to receive a disqualification letter from the NYPD, FDNY, DSNY or New York City Department of Corrections, you can  take action. One of the great parts of New York City civil service jobs is the New York City Civil Service Commission. The process of appeals has improved dramatically over the more than 18 years I have been helping disqualified candidates appeal their disqualifications.

The following video explains the civil service job disqualification appeal process…

Have you taken a civil service exam to become a police officer, fire fighter, corrections officer, sanitation worker or other civil servant for New York City or New York State and received a letter stating you are disqualified for medical reasons? If so, you only have THIRTY (30) days to appeal this decision, so you must act quickly. Your best option is to seek the legal advice of an attorney who can properly handle your disqualification appeal.

There are many reasons why candidates can be medically disqualified. Any physical disability that would make it difficult to perform the duties of the position applied for would be grounds for disqualification. This would include minor problems with hearing or vision, as well as more major issues involving the respiratory or cardiovascular systems.

In the case of a medical disqualification you will need to see a third “independent” medical professional to obtain medical documentation that would support your argument that you are qualified for the job in question. This doctor will review the report written by the original doctor and write their own report with their findings. This report is then sent to the Civil Service Commission for them to review in making their final determination. You have sixty days to submit medical documentation supporting your appeal.

A hearing may be scheduled to allow you to present your appeal. If a hearing is scheduled you will be notified in writing of the date and time. At this hearing you and/or your attorney have the opportunity to present arguments in support of your position. In the case of a medical disqualification, your doctor could be present to provide further insight into why they believe you are physically able to serve in the civil service position that you are applying for.

After the hearing, the Commission will determine whether or not to grant your appeal. The final decision is in written format and a copy is mailed to you and your lawyer. You then have the option of filing an Article 78 appeal if you are not satisfied with the outcome.
