OWCP -DOL Re-Injury of Accepted Work Condition While Working
This episode is an emailer asking a question and being answered in the podcast episode. The scenario the emailer presented for an injured federal employee is the following:
An injured worker came in her OWCP doctor's office for an urgent care visit appointment due to her shoulder being in severe pain and cannot raise it. This shoulder injury is an accepted condition and she is on modified duty. She has been working 8 hours with restrictions but today has been removed from work for 5 days. In circumstances like this, would she file a CA-2A for recurrence of disability? My second question would be, if a patient is removed from work due to worsening of an injury whether it be 2 days or 30 days, is a CA-2A filed?
Great question: Here is what the FECA ACT says about this …
(DFEC) FECA Part 1 Chapter 1-0400 Sub-sec: 9
A Recurrence of Disability is a work stoppage caused by:
1. A return or increase of disability due to a consequential injury (defined as one which occurs due to weakness or impairment caused by a work-related injury);
2. Withdrawal of a specific duty assignment when the employee cannot perform the full duties of the regular or limited duty position.
