Given that you're not a high time flyer, you want to max out your retirement as well as hitting the max disability possible as you're not getting any younger. Also, your sick leave balance just becomes a lot more valuable too.
And if being worried about getting mugged, just pretend you're JA'd and walk around as if you're daring those fools to mess with you. They'll leave you alone.
