Note: Proof of disability is a requirement for noncompetitive consideration under the Schedule
A, 5 CFR § 213.3102(u), Excepted Service Authority. 5 CFR § 213.3102(u)(3) states: “Proof of
disability. (i) An agency must require proof of an applicant’s intellectual disability, severe
physical disability, or psychiatric disability prior to making an appointment under this
section. (ii) An agency may accept, as proof of disability, appropriate documentation (e.g.,
records, statements, or other appropriate information) issued by a licensed medical professional
(e.g., a physician or other medical professional duly certified by a State, the District of
Columbia, or a U.S. territory, to practice medicine); a licensed vocational rehabilitation
specialist (Sates or private); or any Federal agency, State agency, or an agency of the District of
Columbia or a U.S. territory that issues or provides disability benefits.” According to the U.S.
