For a complete explanation <strong>of</strong> DM coding, see PM 2-0601. DM status codes used for documenting PRM<br />

resolutions are noted below and in Exhibit 7.<br />

a. DM Status Codes for PRM Resolutions Involving Reduction <strong>of</strong> Compensation.<br />

capacity decision when a claimant cannot return to the date <strong>of</strong> injury job because <strong>of</strong><br />

disability due to work-related injury or disease, but does return to alternative employment<br />

with actual earnings and an actual wage loss.<br />

(2) CLW - - Constructed LWEC. Used when the CE issues a formal loss <strong>of</strong> wage-earning<br />

capacity decision based on a selected position identified through Vocational Rehabilitation.<br />

(3) CCL - - LWEC Modification. Used when the CE issues a formal decision<br />

modifying a prior LWEC decision that results in cost savings.<br />

b. DM Status Codes for PRM Resolutions Involving Suspension <strong>of</strong> Compensation.<br />

obstruction <strong>of</strong> an <strong>of</strong>fice directed medical examination (e.g. second opinion examination or<br />

referee examination).<br />

c. DM Status Codes for PRM Resolutions Involving Termination <strong>of</strong> Compensation.<br />

(1) CCO - - Terminated, no continuing injury related disability. Used when the CE issues a<br />

decision terminating medical and/or monetary benefits because the medical evidence in file<br />

demonstrates that the claimant no longer suffers from continuing residuals causally related<br />

to the accepted work injury. Also used when monetary benefits are terminated via a formal<br />

decision because the claimant's work-related disability has ceased.<br />

(2) CFC - - Terminated, Fraud Conviction. Used when the claimant is convicted <strong>of</strong> fraud<br />

against the OWCP and/or the United States Government.<br />

(3) CFF, NFF, RFF - - RTW, no LWEC. Used when the IW returns to full duties <strong>of</strong> the DOI<br />
