OWCP-FECA:
Claim Acceptance

Problem

A client filed an OWCP-FECA claim for a torn meniscus.

Prior to our representation, OWCP ignored medical evidence by an orthopedic specialist, delayed adjudication, and denied the claim outright.

Solution

We filed a series of appeals and escalation letters on our client’s behalf.

We also worked with her physician to ensure the medical evidence on record was compliant with the FECA. OWCP accepted the claim and is now paying our client her entitled benefits. She will also now be eligible for a schedule award in the future when she reaches “Maximum Medical Improvement.”
