D3 D3 — Denied, Fact of Injury Not Established
Denial

What it means

Your claim was denied because the evidence does not establish that the injury or event actually occurred as described in your claim.

What to do next

Submit additional evidence to prove the injury occurred: witness statements, supervisor reports, agency incident reports, security footage, time and attendance records, or co-worker declarations.

Important notes

This denial often results from inconsistencies between your claim description and the evidence on file, or a lack of corroborating evidence. Address each inconsistency specifically in your reconsideration request.

Understanding OWCP Status Code Structure

OWCP claim status is displayed as a combination of two two-character codes — an adjudication code and a pay status code. For example: AP-PR means "Accepted, Periodic Roll."

  • Adjudication codes (A_, D_) — indicate whether the case is accepted or denied
  • Pay status codes (MC, PR, DR, PS, etc.) — indicate the type of payment authorized
  • Closure codes (C1–C5, CL, RT) — indicate the case is closed

Your full claim status can be found by logging into ECOMP and viewing your case details, or on written correspondence from OWCP.
