D8 D8 — Remanded by Branch of Hearings and Review
Appeal

What it means

The Branch of Hearings and Review has remanded your case back to OWCP with instructions to take further action.

What to do next

Wait for OWCP to complete the directed action. You may need to submit additional evidence as specified in the remand order.

Important notes

Review the remand order carefully. You may have a limited window to submit additional evidence after the remand before OWCP issues a new decision.

Understanding OWCP Status Code Structure

OWCP claim status is displayed as a combination of two two-character codes — an adjudication code and a pay status code. For example: AP-PR means "Accepted, Periodic Roll."

  • Adjudication codes (A_, D_) — indicate whether the case is accepted or denied
  • Pay status codes (MC, PR, DR, PS, etc.) — indicate the type of payment authorized
  • Closure codes (C1–C5, CL, RT) — indicate the case is closed

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