Employee Who Lacks the Symptoms of Disabling Condition Is Not Recovered from Condition.

The U.S. Postal Service appointed the Appellant to the position of Rural Letter Carrier on October 6, 1990. On July 1, 2002, the Appellant filed an application for disability retirement, citing eczema caused by contact with the mail. The Appellant's eczema was severe to the point that the skin on his hands would scale, blister, and peel, causing infection. The condition was very painful to the appellant and impaired his dexterity. Additionally, the accommodation which the Appellant was receiving, latex gloves, was not helpful as the gloves made the condition worse due to lack of air. Further, the medications Appellant was taking for this condition, namely a variety of corticoid steroids, caused clumsiness and other side effects permanently impacting the performance of his letter carrier duties.
