When the Office of Workers’ Compensation Programs (OWCP) has determined that there is sufficient factual and medical evidence to accept the claim, a formal decision is issued which explains which conditions were accepted as arising out of the claimed factors.
• Where medical evidence establishes that a pre- existing condition was aggravated, an
aggravation should be accepted, not the underlying condition itself.
• Whether the claim is a Traumatic Injury or an Occupational Disease, the same criteria
need to established.
• In Traumatic Injury cases with resulting disability, continuation of pay (COP) should be
authorized unless one of the nine reasons to controvert COP have been established.
• In either type of case, with resulting disability, the claimant should be notified of
placement into disability management (QCM) and the purpose of the QCM program.
If either the physician or claimant indicate that the accepted conditions require expansion or modification, OWCP should request a detailed explanation as to how the additional conditions are related to the original injury or resulting residuals. Claims for consequential conditions should be referred to the District Medical Advisor for review. If OWCP denies an initial claim, a formal denial will be issued. The decision will contain the following:

• describe the nature of the injury;
• summarize the evidence initially submitted with the claim and provide an explanation as to why it was deficient;
• summarize what was requested upon development;
• describe all evidence received after development; and
• explain why the evidence is insufficient to support the claim.
