ECAB Case Law • Charles W. Lund, Docket No. 04-898 (issued September 27, 2004). [Desire to work in his date-of-injury position not a valid reason for not accepting the modified work as approved by the physicians of record.] • E.W., Docket No. 09-1876 (issued June 16, 2010. [While OWCP provided initial 30 day notice, OWCP failed to advise claimant that her medicals were unacceptable and failed to provide her an additional 15 days to accept the employment. “OWCP did not comply with the proper notice requirements prior to termination.”]
ECAB Case Law • MK M.K., Docket No. 08-2225 (issued June 9, 2009). Although inability to travel to work is an acceptable reason to refuse suitable employment, OWCP met its burden of proof to terminate benefits where medical report concluding appellant was unable to drive was not well reasoned and lacked physical findings or an explanation as to why appellant could not use her right arm to steer her car. Thus, the report was not sufficient to establish the position was not suitable due to an inability to commute.
