Can a FERS employee remain on postal service rolls in an LWOP status and draw SS Disability Benefits.

I am a FERS employee currently diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and have been using personal leave. I will shortly run out of personal leave...i am considering applying for SS disability, but wish to remain on the postal service rolls in order to provide the most benefits to my family...does anyone know if there is a restriction with SS? I have already contacted OPM and they advised it is not a postal service issue.
