entitlement, OWCP considers the claim presented by the claimant, the 

report by the employer, and the results of such investigation as OWCP 

may deem necessary.

    (b) OWCP claims staff apply the law, the regulations, and its 

procedures to the facts as reported or obtained upon investigation. They 

also apply decisions of the Employees' Compensation
