KOROMILAS, Chief Judge DAVID S. GERSON, Judge MICHAEL E. GROOM, Alternate Judge JURISDICTION On May 9, 2005 appellant filed a timely appeal from a decision of the Office of Workers’ Compensation Programs dated February 17, 2005 which denied his claim as untimely filed. Pursuant to 20 C.F.R. §§ 501.2(c) and 501.3, the Board has jurisdiction over the merits of this case. ISSUE The issue is whether appellant filed a timely claim for compensation for a right shoulder injury under the Federal Employees’ Compensation Act. On appeal, counsel contends that the claim was timely filed because appellant’s supervisor, Michael P. Watson, was aware that appellant sustained a right shoulder injury on January 8, 1998. FACTUAL HISTORY On April 29 and November 3, 2003 appellant, then a 50-year-old modified letter carrier, filed a claim for a shoulder injury. He stated that he developed the condition while carrying mail and first became aware of the condition and its relationship to his employment on December 16, 1997. The employing establishment controverted the claim, arguing that it was not timely filed. By letter dated November 19, 2003, the Office informed appellant of the type of evidence needed to support his claim.

    2016 Publications Competition Judges’ comments Judge No. 1 Comments: Small Beast of Burden, Branch 290, Santa Barbara, CA Sidebar charts are helpful for explaining proposed rule changes. It was smart to include an article on suicide prevention next to an editorial about toxic work environments and the unfortunate suicides that have taken place within the USPS as a result. This is a very tricky topic to cover, but including positive educational guidance in concert with the editorial shows good planning There are a lot of hyphenations between lines – it would look cleaner if “orphaned” syllables were moved down to the next line. Many important images are pixelated and hard to read, but stock images are readable. Not all wire stories are attributed. The Informer, Branch 74, Saginaw, MI Small, bound, spot color format is clean and easy to read. Format of letters from the editor and contributed articles is inclusive and represents multiple points of view. The How Would You Fight It column presents hypothetical situations and suggested actions, which is likely useful for readers. Includes interesting articles and information, like how letter carriers can participate in the ice bucket challenge professionally and correct ways to hang a flag. More attention could be placed on formatting and punctuation. The Maine Letter Carrier, Branch 391, Bangor, ME Professional-looking layout and good attention to detail (spelling, punctuation, etc.). Articles are well written. Nice use of photos and cartoons. Using either a corner staple or binding staples would likely improve the user experience over how the issues are currently stapled together. The Relay Box, Branch 916, Eugene, OR Clean, professional design with good attention to detail (spelling, punctuation, etc.).
