D7 D7 — Remanded by ECAB
Appeal

What it means

The Employees' Compensation Appeals Board (ECAB) has remanded your case back to OWCP with specific instructions to take further action — such as gathering additional evidence or issuing a new decision.

What to do next

Wait for OWCP to complete the action directed by ECAB. Review the ECAB remand decision carefully — it will specify what OWCP must do and may indicate what evidence would support your claim.

Important notes

OWCP is required to follow the ECAB remand instructions. If OWCP does not act within a reasonable time, contact your claims examiner to inquire about the status.

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.
