Managing an injury as a USPS last mile worker can be challenging and traumatic, and it can raise questions whether one is eligible for compensation according to FECA statutes. The federal government provides this option for those who suffered an injury or developed an illness while working for the USPS as long as they are able to demonstrate causation which more often than not involves comprehensive medical documentation. It may feel overwhelming seeking treatment as it is, and cursory research online or through talking to your friends may reveal an even greater medical burden waiting for you in the wings with regard to additional medical exams, the adhering to treatment plans, the meticulous documentation of every visit, procedure or dispensing of medication.

As advised by your would-be federal workers’ compensation attorney, most people would simply shrink away from hiring an attorney due to the perceived additional stress of these procedures and requirements.

How Complicated is the Benefits Process for Injured Federal Workers?

The Office of the Workers’ Compensation Program is very clear on who it provides benefits to: you must have a legitimate injury or illness, it must have been caused by a work-related event, the condition must be medically necessary, and it must be substantiated by objective evidence. There is usually a higher standard of proof when it comes to federal workers’ compensation claims as the wasting of federal government resources with regard to frivolous or false claims is something that is frowned upon and even prosecutable. 

Some of the key reasons why OWCP demands documentation include:

1. The justification of medical necessity – OWCP reviews files in their entirety and looks for detailed notes from treating physicians in order to approve the release of benefits 
2. Establishing causation – Medical documentation helps tie the injury to the work incident that caused it. Without this, it really is a guess what caused your injuries, leading to claims being denied 
3. Monitoring impairment and progress – documentation provides information to OWCP adjusters regarding your recovery progress, functional limitation and any permanent impairment ratings, all of which will determine the benefits you’re entitled to as well as the duration
4. For USPS workers who got denied from the get-go, medical documentation will help prove your case to the Employees’ Compensation Appeals Board or ECAB during appeals 

For injured USPS workers, the act of hiring an attorney may come with doubts due to the following perceptions:

1. You may believe that we may ask for every single piece of paper surrounding your claim which may complicate your life 
2. You may think that we may send you to more doctors or independent evaluators not for my recovery, but for the purposes of the lawsuit 
3. You may fear that you may get overwhelmed with all the medical and legal terms as well as court procedures, if any 
4. You may fear loss of control over your federal workers’ compensation claim given the involvement of an attorney who you may believe will complicate everything including communication with your doctors
