Dear CLAIMANT NAME:
We have reviewed your letter of DATE OF LETTER requesting reconsideration of our decision dated DATE
OF DECISION.
Please refer to the information which accompanied the original decision. To require the Office to reopen
your case, you must clearly identify the grounds upon which reconsideration is being requested. In
addition, you must either submit relevant evidence not previously considered, or present legal arguments
not previously considered.
Because your letter did not include new and relevant evidence or new legal arguments, it is insufficient to
warrant a review of our prior decision at this time. Any future request for reconsideration must be made
within one year from the original decision and must be accompanied by statements or evidence as
described above.
If you disagree with this specific decision, namely, our denial to review our prior decision, you have the
right to appeal to the Employees' Compensation Appeals Board for review of the decision. This is your
only right of appeal. No new evidence may be submitted to the Appeals Board.
A request for review by the Appeals Board should be made within 90 days from the date of this decision.
It should be addressed to Employees' Compensation Appeals Board, U. S. Department of Labor, 200
Constitution Avenue, N.W., Room N-2609, Washington, D.C. 20210. For good cause shown, the Appeals
Board may waive the failure to file within 90 days if application is made within one year from the date of
the decision being appealed.
Sincerely,
SENIOR CLAIMS EXAMINER
