How do I count days from the date of an OWCP decision to determine the deadline for appealing?
Count the date of any decision or notice from OWCP as day one. For example, for a decision dated October 4, 2009, a claimant would need to postmark a request for hearing by November 2, 2009 or postmark a request for reconsideration by October 3, 2010. An appeal to ECAB must reach the Board by the 180th day.
