Your doctor has to make the connection and the condition has to be accepted before OWCP will pay for treatment.Jesse Sladehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01907793573158885259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4798504953915566528.post-80833539835113625182017-10-24T14:14:14.178-07:002017-10-24T14:14:14.178-07:00Was injured back march, I have two approved claims...Was injured back march, I have two approved claims for bilateral knees. Left has a miniscus tear and the right osteoarthritis. Dr wants to inject gel into right but was not approved by OWCP. They consider this to be pre existing. My dr. Said the fall enhanced the arthritis. Jesse I have been working as a letter carrier for 19 years and I can't help but thing that the job caused the osteoarthritis and wear and tear. What are my options at this time? Also, it has been 7 months now and my right hip is bothering me on a daily basis, could this be from my fall and is is commendable? Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
