suezq - You should definitely talk to the union president & ask him his advice if you should file a grievance or go directly to the postmaster in your area.
Unbelievable!

suezq- OIG postal inspectors or OSC (office of special council). OIG is probably the place you should go first but don't be surprised if they do not help.

Snowed Can they still make you see a doctor once you retire? I'm counting the months and I only have 19 to go until I can retire. Also, the letter I received is the same letter they sent to me the last time requesting any x-rays, etc. I haven't had any new scans or x-rays done since the last visit, do I still have to bring the old ones with me?

notapostalqueen- While you are on limited duty you must have current medical on file or SECOPS are more common....that means seeing your treating doctor at least once every 6 months. Yes OWCP can send you to a SECOP whenever it wants.

Hi all,
I just got a letter from the OWCP doctor to report for a physical again.
My question is why are they still requesting that I see the OWCP doctor? I am back at work and have been back at work since last August.
Do I have to see this doctor for the rest of my life?
I am on limited duty at work with some restrictions.

My S/A case has been with -District Medical Examiner 7 weeks now. They only had a secop opinion so I thought it would be quick. How long are they taking?

mailladypostlady - Yes, an appeal. I have done 2 appeals the route of "review of the written record" and have won them both. But & this is a big but, you need to have the proper medical rationale to win.
If you don't, then you won't win. If you don't win during your appeal, I believe the Reconsideration even lets you add more information with that, which you can do a Reconsideration after a "review of the written record". You should do okay, if your doctor writes his medical rationale properly.
