The client received notice of proposed removal for alleged misconduct. The client was a police officer with the Department of Veterans Affairs. A written response was prepared on the client’s behalf, and an oral reply was conducted with the deciding official.
The deciding official MITIGATED the proposed removal to a 21-day suspension. An appeal to the MSPB was prepared and filed on the client’s behalf. During litigation in the discovery phase of the appeal, the agency completely RESCINDED the 21-day suspension. The client returned to full duty and received all the back pay he was entitled to.
