APPLICANT STATES : In effect, that when he submitted his retirement packet in July 2002, he requested to cash in his unused accrued leave. In connection with the processing of this case, an advisory opinion was obtained from the Director, FTSMD, ARPERSCOM, who recommended that the applicant’s request for a change to his retirement date be denied.
