Loss of Wage Earning Capacity Determinations

Many FECA claimants who have returned to work, or simply had their check reduced based upon a determination that they were capable of working even though there was no job available, can later apply to have OWCP determine that they are once again unemployable. This sort of a determination can be reviewed at any time. For instance, if OWCP determined you were capable of working ten years ago and now your work related condition has followed its natural progression (not worse due to an intervening events) and you are no longer employable, you can request that OWCP modify the Loss of Wage Earning Capacity Determination and determine that you are once again unemployable.
