To a Claims Examiner, a Claimant is nothing more than an assigned "Claim Number" and the only interest a Claims Examiner has in the Claim Number is: "is the Paper Trail Acceptable?"
The many problems facing Claimants is the failure to recognize their own responsibility with their Claim.

No where in the Regulations does it say anything about the difficulty a typical Claimant experiences, just to find a Good Doctor or how difficult it is to develop an Acceptable Paper Trail.

Most of the difficulty ends when a Claimant finds a Good doctor and begins to create an manage an Acceptable Paper Trail.

The trouble a Claimant must go through just to do what I suggest is of no concern to the OWCP or a Claims Examiner

Why do I state this? For no other reason than it appears that it needs to be said as far as I am concerned.

Who "did what to whom" isn't important. Every Claimant has a story to tell. Every Claimant should carefully consider just what their needs are and focus directly on them are things are surely not going to get any better for them.

If you really want to turn things around, then dump your "dud Doctor" and "Clean Up Your Paper Trail" and make sure that even when you have to "go through hell" just to get anywhere, that you aware that there isn't any other way to go about it.

Just My thoughts,
