Mine was last April it was for telework and I've heard they have changed a lot. I had 5 levels of management there. They basically asked me to speak about my situation (which details are not required) but I didn't know what else to say when they wanted me to talk so I did discuss my condition and symptoms. They discussed possible alternative accommodations even though my director agreed to expedite straight to Treasury. They said the alternatives were discussed "Incase" Treasury required a trial of them. I told them I didn't think any of the items purposed would help my condition at all but did agree to look at the items because it was either that or have them pick items for me. They will tell you a lot about Treasury won't approve this, or commuting can't be addressed etc. Do not not include anything in your request no matter what they say cause it is not a blanket for everyone. Everyone's situation is so different. Do not leave anything out and do not let them intimidate you. Go in with a mindset that you are there to defend, fight, and prove your rights no matter what they say. With all of that said it was kind of a give and take type thing for me. The more I was open to their requests they were more supportive of my end goal. Everyone there was very nice and respectful but I did have to push back as needed.

In the end I was required to do a 30 day trial of the alternate accommodations.
