Today we are going over something I have never addressed in the podcast before…we are going to teach OWCP from OWCP Claims Examiner training material. In order to be successful with communication with an OWCP claims examiner, it is important to understand what they are trained to do, trained to look for and how to meet the eligibility requirements from their training and understanding. It helps to understand how to speak the language that the OWCP claims examiner is trained in.

A psychiatric condition is accepted under FECA only if a qualified mental health professional diagnoses an emotional condition and provides a rationalized opinion that it was directly caused or substantially aggravated by specific, substantiated incidents or conditions of federal employment — not by general job stress or properly conducted personnel actions.

If you are pursuing such a claim, almost all successful claimants use an attorney or experienced representative who specializes in federal workers’ compensation, because the medical and factual causation burdens are extremely high.

. Medical Causation Requirements for Establishing a Psychological DSM-5 Diagnosis for a Federal Employee Work-Related Injury

Under FECA, a psychological condition (e.g., PTSD, major depressive disorder, or anxiety disorder per DSM-5 criteria) qualifies as a compensable "injury" if it arises out of and in the course of employment (5 U.S.C. § 8101(5); FECA PM Part 2, Chapter 2-0200). Emotional/psychiatric claims are scrutinized closely due to their subjective nature, and OWCP applies the Lillian Cutler criteria from ECAB precedent (28 ECAB 125 (1976)) to establish eligibility.

CA-7 Form is used When the CE first becomes aware that the claimant is disabled from work (even if the COP period has not expired or a wage-loss claim has not yet been received).

(b) The first CA-7, Claim for Compensation, is approved for a nonintermittent period of leave without pay, and medical evidence supports continued disability from work. The CA-7 form asks the claimant to reportall earnings from employment (outside of his/her federal job) for the period claimed on the CA-7. The claimant is specifically advised to include all employment for which salary, wages, sales commissions, etc. are received. By signing the form, the claimant is certifying the accuracy and truthfulness of the information contained on the form.

The Form CA-7 (Claim for Compensation) is the official U.S. Department of Labor Office of Workers’ Compensation Programs (OWCP) form that an injured federal employee (or their survivor) uses to request monetary compensation under the Federal Employees’ Compensation Act (FECA).
