Update Your Profile
Under OWCP you must submit a rating for your listed body part impairment by a competent medical doctor of your choice per the 6th Ed. AMA Guides for your scheduled award. You are responsible to do this, OWCP will not do this for you.
If you ask or choose OWCP to rate you they will send you to their hired MD's who will rate you at very minimal to zero impairment. Yo do not want to do that. https://plus.google.com/communities/100194557699660054902
