WAYS TO APPEAL A CLOSED CASE
If you receive a Notice of Decision letter from DOL/OWCP denying your claim, you have one (1) year from the date of the denial letter to appeal your decision. Also, if you have an accepted OWCP case that is closed due to inactivity or your case worker does not think that your case should be kept open due to your OWCP case diagnosis. You can appeal your closed case as well. Administrative closure usually happens when a patient’s OWCP case is closed due to “no activity” in your case for a period of 120 or 180 days. Oral hearings can be attended Telephonically! One of the most common ways to appeal a closed case is over the phone. OWCP Oral Hearings can now be conducted telephonically saving you the trouble and cost of attending your OWCP Oral Hearing in person. Your doctor, your union representative, OWCP consultant, lawyer or even just you representing yourself can represent you in an oral hearing. ORAL hearing appeals process telephonically allow you or your representative to represent you during your OWCP Oral Hearing via telephone conference call. Although the FECA was intended to be non-adversarial, the law is complicated. 5 USC 8127 allows an injured worker to appoint a representative to act for him or her in any proceeding under the Act. A representative such as a union steward or attorney experienced in the ins and outs of this program can help an injured worker. The provision for this type of appeal is found under 5USC.8128(a). This pretty much means that an injured employee who does not agree with DOL & OWCP case decisions, They can then appeal orally but under an oral appeal there is the telephonic option. Which saves the injured employee time by not having to travel to meet in person .
