Required Medical Evidence:
- The medical evidence must show that the specified member, organ or function has reached a permanent and fixed state, and indicates the date on which this occurred ("date of maximum medical improvement").
- Describe the impairment in sufficient detail so OWCP can visualize the character and degree of impairment.
- Provide a percentage evaluation of the impairment in terms of the affected member or function, not the body as a whole (except for impairment to the lungs) according to the 6th edition of the AMA Guide.
