Can I file for OPM disability retirement benefits while I am on OWCP?
Return to FAQsTranscript:
You absolutely can file for OPM disability when you’re on OWCP. In fact, many people who aren’t able to work at their job are unable to work ever again, and so, often times while they’re collecting wage loss payments and going to the doctor after an injury on the job, will apply for OPM disability, and will be able to get that as well.
