Rick,
Long time since I've posted (over a year). Glad to see you are still here. Your advice helped me through some really rough times with OWCP. After being on it for 3+ years, the PO finally offered a job that the CE deemed suitable and after my refusal claiming it was not suitable they sent me a 15 day letter. I decided to decline and opted to make my diability retirement effective. They sent me notification that my compensation was permanently terminated. Everything I've read, and been told states that although my salary compensation was stopped that OWCP is still responsible for medical/pharmacy treatment of my permanent disability. My CE closed my case out completely leaving me with no medical/pharmacy benefits. She claims I should still have them but does not know why it was denied. The pharmacy resolution dept says it is because of her and the code she used to close the case saying that there is no injury residuals. I have been without my meds for several days and seem to be getting no where. Just passed back and forth. Do you know where to find the closing codes?? My understanding is the only way they can refuse to pay for future treatment is if there is no injury/disability left. What info can you lead me to or advise on this matter???? All help is welcome.
