D3 - Denied, Fact of Injury Not Established

Category: Denial

What it means:

Your claim has been denied because the evidence does not establish that the injury or event occurred as described.

What to do next:

Submit additional evidence such as witness statements, incident reports, or other documentation that proves the injury or event happened as claimed.

Warnings/Important Notes:

This denial is often due to inconsistencies in the evidence or lack of sufficient proof that the incident occurred.

Understanding OWCP Status Codes

The Office of Workers' Compensation Programs (OWCP) uses a combination of codes to indicate the status of a claim:

Adjudication Codes (2 characters) - Indicate whether a case is accepted or denied (e.g., AP, D5)
Pay Status Codes (2 characters) - Indicate the type of payments authorized (e.g., MC, PR, PS)
Closure Codes (2 characters) - Indicate a case has been closed (e.g., C1, C5)

Your claim status can be found on ECOMP by logging into your account and viewing your case details, or on correspondence you receive from OWCP.
