Doc Ellis discusses Schedule Awards and Impairment Ratings. How OWCP determines if you are eligible for a schedule award. A Schedule Award is an impairment rating that pays you for permanent injuries. A Schedule Award does not stop treatment. You are entitled to treatment for your lifetime. A Schedule Award will stop your Temporary Total Disability (TTD) payments.

Schedule Awards are available for Upper & Lower Extremities, Hearing, Vision, Larynx, Tongue, Lung, Kidney, Skin & Sexual Organs. There are no Schedule Awards for Spine • Brain • Heart • Internal Organs. There are Schedule Awards for the nerves from your spine that affect your arms and legs.

You must be at Maximum Medical Improvement (MMI).
Maintenance treatment such as medications and injections do not lower your impairment.

The Doctor you choose needs to be an expert or you could lose thousands of dollars!
Your Doctor must follow the American Medical Association’s, Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment, 6th Edition. You may have to travel to find the right doctor. Your Schedule Award rating physician does not have to be your treating physician.

Would the scedule award payment be higher when I had multiple injury such as knee, elbow and neck at the same day at work? Or do I have file separate scedule award for each body part?
