  • Can I bring anyone with me to a medical examination arranged by OWCP?
  • I have finished vocational rehabilitation with OWCP and am now looking for work. There is really no chance of me finding a job. How can I stop OWCP from reducing my compensation?
  • I got another letter from OWCP telling me I have to see another doctor. I just went 6 months ago! This is not fair. Do I have to go again?
  • What if I am forced out by NRP and returned to work in a lower paying job?
