SAMPLE LETTER ACKNOWLEDGING RECEIPT OF CASE FILE (Continued)
REQUEST FOR WRITTEN REVIEW
I am writing with regard to the above-captioned compensation case and the request for a
review of the written record by an OWCP representative.
The Branch of Hearings and Review has recently received the case file from the district
office. As you have requested a review of the written record, your case file will be assigned
to a hearing representative shortly.
Additionally, your employing agency will be provided a copy of your request for review of
the written record and all pertinent new material. (Pursuant to 20 CFR 10.618(b), medical
evidence is not considered pertinent for review and comment by the employing agency,
since OWCP has sole responsibility for evaluating medical evidence, and therefore will not
be furnished to the agency.)
Your employer will be allowed 20 days from the date the letter is sent to provide comments.
If your employing agency does provide comments, they may come directly to you, and you
will have 20 days from either the agency's certificate of service or our letter transmitting
their comments to respond. Within 90 days of assignment of your case to a hearing
representative, and after a review and complete study of your case file, a decision will be
issued by the Branch of Hearings and Review.
While your case is under the jurisdiction of the Branch of Hearings and Review, all
correspondence should be directed to the following address: Branch of Hearings and
Review, P.O. Box 37117, Washington, D.C. 20013-7117.
Sincerely,
NAME OF CHIEF
BRANCH OF HEARINGS AND REVIEW
