Filing Challenges Specific to USPS
USPS supervisors sometimes pressure injured carriers to keep working through pain or to use sick leave instead of filing a CA-1. Don't. Filing on time and seeing an OWCP credentialed doctor protects your claim and your benefits.
Why owcpdocs for USPS Cases
We file the CA-16 immediately, document every diagnosis with the specificity OWCP requires, and stay in front of OWCP claims examiners until your case is accepted.
What to Do If You're Injured on the Job
- Report the injury to your supervisor immediately and in writing.
- Request a CA-1 (traumatic injury) or CA-2 (occupational disease) form.
- Get treated by an OWCP credentialed doctor — that's us.
- Keep copies of every form, every visit, every report.
- Don't use sick leave when FECA covers your time off work.
