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.

You can file an oral hearing in ECOMP by uploading a written request to your claims examiner into ECOMP. The Claims examiner has thirty days to respond by DFEC procedure manual rule. 

One of these Oral Hearing appeal options is the employee’s right to request and receive an Oral Hearing or Review of the Written Record. The Oral Hearing is a non-adversarial hearing with the employee, (and/or your designated  employee’s representative (which can be your treating doctor, attorney or designated representative ie. Union rep etc, along with the hearing examiner and a professional transcriber present. The Oral Hearing gives the employee the opportunity to present additional facts and evidence for the examiner’s consideration and allows the claimant to further present his/her case before any final decision by the examiner and OWCP can be rendered. This is a powerful tool that you can use to assist in appeals when there is a breakdown in communication with your claims examiner on matters where delays are based on non sensical errors or miscommunications.
