Schedule Award for Injuries That Occurred a Long Time Ago

If you’ve like other injured postal workers, you may not have heard about a schedule award until today. It may be possible that you’ve lived with your injury for years, or maybe even decades. Regardless of how much time has passed, you can qualify for schedule award by starting the process of submitting the necessary paperwork.

CA-7 Form for Injured Postal Workers

You are required to fill in the CA-7 forms for Schedule Award, attaching an impairment rating that you’ll receive from an OWCP doctor that we’ll help you locate. If you’re currently still employed by the federal government as a postal worker, fill in the form and send it to the Injury Compensation Office within your agency, making sure to touch base with them on a regular basis so they can submit the approved form to OWCP.
