Federal Workers Compensation Coffee Break Podcast is an educational and informative training on how to navigate the DOL -OWCP claims filing process for all types of injured US government and federal workers. The podcast is free and is educational. If you need help with anything related to a federal workers compensation claim...help is just a cup of coffee away.

If you are injured, you probably are currently on a medical restriction related to your accepted federal workers compensation claim. As such, this means that your doctor has instructed your employee agency that you are not able to perform certain job duties or actions during your normal workday due to medical restrictions. But one of the big misunderstandings that injured workers have is the following question, “What am I allowed to do with my self-care activities? What that doctor has not ordered or give instructions on, by completing a return-to-work status form such as a CA-17 & CA-5C is that you must stop performing specific actions which you need to execute in order to live your normal daily life.

The CA-17 is a form which the OWCP directs both the injured worker’s supervisor and his/her treating physician to complete. The CA-17 is a legal OWCP document for reporting work status to OWCP not to the employee agency

The OWCP Form 5c Work Capacity Evaluation Musculoskeletal Conditions is also a work status for that can be completed by the injured worker’s treating physician, but it DOES NOT contain any information regarding the employee’s:

• clinical diagnosis
• other disabling conditions
• the treating physician’s clinical findings

More information is found in the show's transcript!
