How Can Attorneys Assist Federal Employees with Work-Related Benefit Issues?
Denial of Federal Employee’s Work-Related Benefits
One of the most challenging aspects for federal employees is dealing with the denial of work-related benefits. Attorneys play a crucial role in this area by:
1. Reviewing Denial Notices: Attorneys carefully examine the reasons provided for the denial of benefits. This includes scrutinizing the documentation and evidence submitted with the initial claim. If necessary, attorneys help in gathering additional medical records, witness statements, and other pertinent evidence to strengthen the case.
2. Filing Appeals: Attorneys are well-versed in the appeals process, including deadlines and specific forms required. They prepare and file appeals on behalf of the employee, ensuring that all procedural requirements are met.
3. Representing Employees at Hearings: In cases where a hearing is required, attorneys represent employees, presenting the evidence and making legal arguments to support the claim.
Termination of Existing Benefits
1. Challenging Termination Notices: Attorneys review the justification for terminating benefits and identify any procedural errors or lack of substantial evidence.
2. Requesting Reconsideration: If benefits are wrongfully terminated, attorneys can request reconsideration or modification of the decision, presenting new evidence or arguments as needed.
3. Navigating Administrative Procedures: Attorneys ensure that all necessary administrative procedures are followed, reducing the risk of procedural dismissals.
Attorney Assist with Scheduled Awards
1. Determining Eligibility: Attorneys help employees understand if they qualify for a scheduled award based on their medical condition and impairment rating.
2. Filing Claims for Scheduled Awards: Attorneys guide employees through the process of filing claims for scheduled awards, ensuring that all necessary medical documentation and forms are correctly submitted.
3. Appealing Denied Scheduled Awards: If a claim for a scheduled award is denied, attorneys can file an appeal and represent the employee during the appeals process.
