        Subpart B_Filing Notices and Claims; Submitting Evidence

 

Sec.  10.121  What happens if OWCP needs more evidence from the claimant?



    If the claimant submits factual evidence, medical evidence, or both, 

but OWCP determines that this evidence is not sufficient to meet the 

burden of proof, OWCP will inform the claimant of the additional 

evidence needed. The claimant will be allowed at least 30 days to submit 

the evidence required. OWCP is not required to notify the claimant a 

second time if the evidence submitted in response to its first request 

is not sufficient to meet the burden of proof.
