   My previous job was with the USPS, been on disability retirement for 4 years. USFS offered me a job and I accepted. What's next, How does the OPM find me recovered or restored to earning capacity? 
The job I had at the post office involved heavy lifing on a regular basis, the main reason I retired was because of my back. 
The job at the FS won't require very much physical labor and I'm thinking that's why they even offered it to me but I'm probably wrong about that.  I have a feeling the don't know I'm on a disability retirement even though it is on the Postal version of my SF-50 which they have a copy of. 
Will they have to send me to a doctor again? 
What's the procedure?

	I was on disability retirement from the USPS for 8 years and got a job with DHS. After returned my income statement to OPM I had reached the 80% limitation and they found me restored to earning capacity. I still have the disability but was removed from the retirement rolls.
