Rick,
Is Ed Daniel coming back?

Rick,
Not a typo.. it was entered twice... for 2 separate CA7's.. for 2 different dates.

No big deal.. I was hoping to find a code list somewhere.. tried googling it to no avail.
Thanks..

Snowed, I wasnt paid OWCP for that time period.. it was COP...

for the 4 days I worked... I submitted a CA7 for the other 4hrs...and the code is the same for the 2nd CA7 I submitted to claim the other 4hrs that wasnt paid during the COP period.

Confusing..I know..

We believe the 71 is just a typo. Possibly it should say 07/01/2009 to 10/09/2009 - OWCP indicates the aforementioned period has been paid and deemed a duplicate.

Ruuth-
Duplicate payment means you should have gotten paid. I have several of those codes and each one has a duplicate submission.

Rick..
Thanks... The "PW" notation makes sense, as my claim that I filed when I went out again was denied, and I sent a CA7 for the 4hrs a day that OWCP was supposed to pay me, if I was able to continue working.

i am working on a reconsideration in regards to the denied claim. Hopefully it will be decided in my favor and then I can go back and file for the additional 4hrs a day for that time period.

I have spoke with my dr concerning what exactly is needed in a addendum several times... its getting to the point where he is going to be really fed up... but this is what he is supposed to do.. it is very frustrating!

Ruuth-
Call your CE ask her to explain.

Your CA-2 should go to injury comp along with your doctor report. Injury comp will send it to your supervisor for comments/completion. I would also send a copy of report to OWCP to make sure they get it.

Ruuth /m5927 -

PR: Entitled to payment on periodic roll; re-employment or earning capacity not yet determined.

PW: Entitled to reduced compensation reflecting partial wage earning capacity or actual earnings.

LWEC: Loss of Wage Earning Capacity (do not know how this came up unless it was due to you returning to work for those 4 days.

I do not know what the '71' is...I will try to find out - if I do, I will post here.

Rick

do i send ca-2 directly to owcp or have my doc send it

Rick...

When I go to CQS it says Current case status... it did say PR.. now it says PW and then Periodic Roll with LWEC.this was just done today.

under compensation tracking it has under Decision Code, Date,& Description... 71-2009-10-09 Already Paid/Duplicate-LWOP.

What is 71?

And where the heck did the LWEC come from?

I was returned to work by an IME to a 4hr day. I was reinjured after being there for 4 days and went back out again.

Thanks..

You technically have a new claim for occupational disease. I would go this route because your compensation would be based on your current wages. If your doctor agrees that work is making it worse then you should not have a problem. File a new CA-2. Otherwise you will most likely have to file a recurrence on old claim. You would likely be denied because of the facts in your claim.

yes? since i've been back at work, now symptoms are worse and doc said space is more visible in back where disc "was".

mailladypostalady-
Is condition worsening because you are working?

Previously on periodic roll. Been back at work on LD. Condition is worsening and Dr. wants me off work. When I complete Ca-7 do I send it to owcp or give it to supervisor. Thanks for advice!

Ruuth /m5920 - can you list the codes here? I will then try to find out what they are.

Ruuth /m5920 - I do not know - I will try to see if I can find/obtain a list...if I can, I will post same here.
