10.205—What conditions must be met to receive COP?
(1)
Have a “traumatic injury” as defined at § 10.5(ee) which is job-related and the cause of the disability, and/or the cause of lost time due to the need for medical examination and treatment;
(2)
File Form CA-1 within 30 days of the date of the injury (but if that form is not available, using another form would not alone preclude receipt); and
(b)
OWCP may find that the employee is not entitled to COP for other reasons consistent with the statute (see § 10.220 ).
