MATTER OF: Francis S. Stein - Disability   Retirement -
              Reemployment


DIG EST':


Employee retired on disability. lie recovered
and was reemployed. He elected part-time duty,
instead of full-time with time off charged to
sick leave or leave without pay, on the al:eged
advice of a personnel specialist that his
retirement annuity would be computed as though
he were on full-time. We find no improner

part-time duty would have been proper within
agency discretion. Alleged erroneous advice

to full-time duty may not be made.
