In this episode of the Breaking OWCP Podcast, hosts Chris and Gini dive deep into the critical steps every federal employee needs to take after a work injury. They share valuable insights on how to file a claim, the importance of selecting the right doctor, and how to avoid common mistakes that can jeopardize your benefits.
Key topics covered:
