Yes you do, unless there is some legitimate medical reason for your inability to attend, in which case you may be able to delay your appointment. OWCP has every right to scheduled medical exams for you at “reasonable” intervals.
LaMacchia Law specializes in representing civilian employees or retirees of the federal government. We help you understand your rights as a federal employee and guide you through the complicated communication and paperwork chains to ensure that you receive the maximum benefit in which you are entitled.
As a licensed attorney I also provide professional representation to my clients when a benefit claim needs to be taken before the court.
- Are you trying to get help with a work-related injury claim?
- Are you tired of not knowing your rights as an injured federal worker?
- Are you trying to return to work from a work-related injury?
- Are you entitled to a medical accommodation at work?
- Are you wondering if your accepted work-related injury entitle you to a reasonable accommodation?
I Can Help You!
The following are some examples of common requests I help clients with:
- Claims of work-related injury to be filed, pending or on appeal with Office of Workers' Compensation Programs (OWCP), Branch of Hearings and Review (BHR), or Empoyees' Compensation Appeals Board (ECAB).
- Applications before the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) for a retirement benefit.
- Complaints or appeals pending before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB). Especially, but not exclusively, on matters involving medical issues.
- Requests to be made, or pending, or that have been rejected by your employing agency for a reasonable accommodation.
I have helped federal workers receive the benefits they deserve since 1995. If you have been employed in a federal job and believe you have not received the benefits in which you were entitled contact LaMacchia Law. I can help!
