Taking your year off for “disability” is a time honored union benefit, use it or you lose it. Many Chicago cops take it a few years before retiring at 50 to Florida. My former brother in law a Chicago cop took his, “his back went out” he said. As he was helping another family member move furniture! A year off, full pay, and he still managed to do his weightlifting program in the basement. There are plenty of doctors who will sign the paperwork.
