Violations of civil rights page 31: owcp reconsideration on schedule award issue and request to make ACS give you the files

Office of Federal Workers Compensation
525 Griffin St.
Dallas, TX 75202
Attn: Christina Stark regional office manager
Teresa Davis, Claims Examiner
 I received a ' ludicrous' response to a 1996 request for a schedule award. Its not funny, but life threatening to take what seems to be a few pages from Medicare's collection unit contractor attempting to collect monies back to them for bills approved by federal workers compensation that you seem oblivious to because you don't have my file available?.You have numerous reconsiderations that have gone unanswered and also many ca1'. ca2's and ca2a's n file that have never had an initial decision even with 9 judges and 2 hearing officers pointing out they can't review something with no initial decision. In 2/09, if you had read the last 3 appellate judges remand, you would know, if you had the entire file available to understand the context as they do, that when they set aside the misinformation that I didn't return to work in 1990 even when documented with 240 EEOC complaints and EEOC sanctions for the tortuous and painful and physically harming ordeal I went through trying to work without the promised reasonable accommodation s that HHS said they should provide. HHS was the employing Dept over SSA and EEOC matters are still pending against them that have never been settled. When monies were sent me in mailto:'09@'05 from  your offline office system, which raises a grave security issue, the claims examiner did not make decision on the ca1'. ca2's , ca2a' in file so that Social security, my agency in conjunction with HHS's personnel office could go ahead and do the leave buy back. This takes a formal decision from OWCP, even if SSA and I are in agreement.
Are you saying that US dept of Labor judges and claims examiners have no control over filings, or what you can see to render decision, that Affiliated computer systems is allowed to pick and choose what they want you to see  and that includes judges' remand orders?  ACS, who has not processed over 3/4THS of my bills and not input 11 years of oxygen bills because: the computer will pay them as their manger said and would result in the offline ' dummy ' file they set up being brought on line with the official US dept of labor secured file on me in Washington that shows permanent medical benefits for my accepted conditions. Which the Medicare judges were able to obtain, but not my claims examiner nor the bill paying unit at Affiliated computer systems.
I'm in this life threatening situation due to felony destruction of my files in the Dallas regional office before Affiliated computer services took over as a result of the criminal investigation of the regional office and laxity of security on multiple claimants files. 4 years of my life were  taken out' of the file so that my file could be overturned as it made it look like I didn't return to work in 1990. The hearing office remanded the case and neglected to make the needed statement to ' set aside that erroneous decision.' Finally the last three judges at ECAB did say the ' magic words' so that wage loss can be reinstated. They had the CSR applications and statements, all the other pertinent info and again reminded OWCP of the many issues in file needing initial decisions.
Nothing that the judges ordered have been done. especially for you to ask ME for the " fact of the case' as they knew  no one knew what was going on and was only getting bits and pieces from ACS.
Why do I, the claimant have to make the US dept of labors contractor obey the terms of a govt contract which would not be legal if all persons weren't treated equally. Their job is to post the various pieces of the file that come from all directions, whether, me or the highest judges in the agency. They are not to refuse to set up my basic file and make it disappear as what happened in 6/2004 when 35000 pages of the reconstructed file arrived from the appellate judges at ECAB and ' walked  out the door to be worked but not before, as few misleading pieces were posted to manipulate the outcome.
With permission from the Secretary of Labor, I was permitted to use the 1-800 number at the ACS Tallahassee Fl office and we put claim numbers on every piece, and redid all the out of pocket bills and travel vouchers back to 1989 on the new forms so they could be paid, only to have the boxes they sent up to the London Ky ACS office, again disappear. Since then multiple times, documents have been sent in only to have them never reach the claims examiners to review and make decisions based on the ' facts of the case'
Remember ACS has ' decided to lie to every medical provider and supplier and other parties with interest in the case and say the case is closed when it obviously isn't or you wouldn't be trying to decide a permanent disability without the extensive documentations in the file. Exactly what schedule award is being done? The entire list of accepted conditions has not yet been determined as no ca1or ca2 has had an initial decision since the 1990's. This is a progressive disease with long term side effects of approved medications, etc.
HOW CAN THE FILINGS GET TO THE CLAIMS EXAMINER? Can't you ' control' your contractor and order them to treat every claimant equally and stop discriminating against me, an elderly, disabled woman, whose religion is to value all life, including mine.
After years of this, I wrote numerous certified letters that were never answered and left messages. how can i get the facts of the case, i. e the file you should already have in front of you so the various items can get worked,.
A few weeks ago, i discovered on your web site, I could now file a CA1 , and ca2 with your office. I have a injury that was secondary, tertiary to the original accepted conditions and sent them to you and they were received by your office. However, you never got them and probably never will as is the usual situation. They were immediately set to ACS in London Ky to add to  a non existent computer claims file. If one saw only the filing, out of context of the entire file, it may make little sense to some not familiar with the medical consequences of 22+ yeas on cortisone steroids and the prior similar type claims never answered either.
There is nothing to file with ECAB as you haven't reviewed the filings yet and The judges will just send you another remand to work the case. I fell with unfilled prescription as suppliers have to know who will be paying out of my three health plans and the diagnosis listed is the accepted one at owcp. They have called ACS and gotten lied to. ACS is the ' third party?' Once, they were promised the file was being set up up a few years ago and it never was. Some of the call center ACS employees are aware they don't know what is going on, others have not been informed to tell the truth, that the file isn't set up so medical care will continue to be obstructed. That's not the terms of ACS's contract at all to discriminate and manipulate outcomes of claims decisions. Contract wouldn't be legal if it did.
I have suggested in the certified letters, to pay current wage loss since the reason for suspension was now officially set aside by your highest judges, that no other interested party, my agency nor you appealed. Then call Lincare and make it right for the lies to them that I'd received some humongous settlement that included the monies to pay them causing the monopoly oxygen supplier in my areas to cease service: another death panel decision. They of course want paid and the invoices are in the file and never processed. They bought out Health Connections and now have the contract with you and payments are not being made since the buy out.Arkansas Blues did pay, duplicate, for some of the months and continued to do so until Ill Blues took over in my area and decided to post erroneous info that no owcp exists and dumped the bills on to Medicare's contractor, Palmetta GBAwho balked at paying owcp's bills until Cigna took over and paid  the invoices they had ( many were destroyed by palmetto gba whose parent company has just bought cigna govt services out. ) They sent them to the recovery unit  who had sent out some collection letters to owcp in ' 05 and 07 and these were sent to you in '08 and ignored on other obvious bills.  I filed an appeal for an enforcement of the collection and the Medicare judges got the internal documents you can't seen to  be able to access. Its posted bi-weekly to the Medicare computer and no one is to alter it per Medicare's coordination of benefits a subsidiary of Group health , who maintains it for the entire country and all who have a Medicare card.  They are in violation continually of their US Dept of labor contract which adds to the obstruction and is engaged in a theft of the Medicare trust fund when all claims should be coded conditional payments and sent to owcp to collect the monies back and stop this on -going discrimination.
On 9/29.,2010, Judge Gilda Morrison, appellate judge on case m09.1406  upheld the two Administrative law Judges ruling that owcp and fed blues were primary to Medicare ; but ruled that owcp is to pay the oxygen bills, i.e. owcp needs to review all my bills first and either pay if for accepted conditions and then notify providers on others that the medical issues are pending for acceptance and to let fed blues and Medicare pay but code for a future decision and repayment to them should they be accepted. None of the constitutional and logical processes are occurring which puts my life at great risk and me paying out of pocket for life sustaining medical care with approval for life by owcp. and spending monies to file and refile papers that never get reviewed in defiance of judges remand after judges remand.
Ms. Davis and Ms. Stark are new to this case and when Lynn Blodgett, President and CEO of ACS came over to you with the letter I had sent him and published at washingtonpost.com to him in early '09; he ' neglected to inform you that his London Ky office was and had been refusing to set up my computer file. This is a real he said, she said but the result is my claims examiner is still being giving bits and pieces of a file and a manipulated result. No one should infer your letter of 3/28/2010 that this concerns any other issue but the 1996 schedule award, on which condition? and since you  apparently never read the 2/09 judges remand nor the many letters I' d sent requesting some system to reconstruct the facts of the case,i.e. the file; you obviously had everything withheld from you by ACS so that they now control judges and claims examiners and what they can do. This company could set up a $0 balance ATM card and ask the state of OK to maintain it for 2 years when no welfare benefits were due, but can't set up my life sustaining computer file for the US dept of labor.
As a result of a recent speech by Secretary of labor Hilda Solis, I filed a contract compliance complaint with the US dept of labor in Washington d.c and a civil rights complaint's against them and Medicare coordination of benefits for altering the official records continuously for a decade, both of which are the US dept of labor's contractors that have gravely discriminated against me and my right to live. Then, your letter arrives as a result of the filing? is this to be construed as a retaliations by ACS, for ' feeding you a few pages, again? Medicare coordination of benefits doesn't remove the owcp, they just got involved in a ' ricco' situation (US atty's words) where Trailblazers and others used phony Medicare claim numbers and altered diagnosis codes to circumvent the security, from the us dept of labor, on my real claim number that kicks back the bills as owcp's required they be processed as conditional payments and collection letters sent to owcp for repayment. Routinely ignored by ACS, this time passed on to you?
This is a reconsideration request AND a request for a system to be set up to present to you the documentation, etc and other matters that are pending before you , but withheld by your contractor which I now consider a retaliation as well as on -going discrimination.
ARE YOU REQUIRING ME TO SUE AFFILIATED COMPUTER SYSTEMS ON BEHALF OF THE US DEPT OF LABOR? If so, will your legal counsel fully cooperate and will you be fully cooperative in providing documentation and testimony and finances to do so so that the discrimination and retaliation will cease and my approved bills will be paid and other benefits paid as approved and receive fairness and justice in the deciding of any other items before you and anything that may need to be presented in the future?

                                                         22+ year struggle for life  on a non- controverted accepted, established case with permanent medical benefits under a laws  that was past to prevent deaths when these kinds of abuses of power and discrimination's occur. REMEMBER: my file was  feloniously ' riffled ' in the Dallas regional office that started this last 11 + year old life and death struggle.
                                   ACCIDENT REPORT:
The phone calls today to verify the on-going discrimination has had a terrible toil on my accepted medical conditions and rest is badly needed, but this request had to be filed as there is no assurance that anyone will take their responsibility to my life and files to assist. I can't go to London Ky and post the files myself having nether the skills or authority to do so without further physical injury and exacerbation's of my accepted conditions. The physical theraphy has made a new discovery of a related injury; the atrophy? of muscles surrounding the diapraham. Since 1/10/89, I can only breathe from the ' stomach' as 'chest breathing' is no longer possible due to the extensive damage from the orignal injury. Recently read that the method of breathing I use, along with 24/7 Oxygen, is  being widely accepted for this kind of injury. We no longer die in 5 years as my case proves. But every exacerbation reduces my longevity and its not fair and just for what is occurring to be happeinng, its illegal and discriminatory and unconstitutional.

No response to this to date.Lina Joy Adams and files still not posted and claims examiner doesn't;t know how to do it and she has not gotten back to me or a couple of months, either. What is going on in this govt? And I have an established case with permanent medical benefits already.Linda Joy Adams

UPDATE; After this was first filed in 2011, I got another response with nothing considered as legally required. although new info was submitted. The response was done without access to my file, and based on CEO Lynn Blodgett's verbal "nothing to do" when ACS-Xerox he is CEO of held Remand orders of 2/09 so current same treatments can be paid and not refer to some missing millon dollars I never got and initially they said I had received and noone knows anything more as no one is allowed to investigiate and life hangs in the balance of the injured worker due to an alleged embezzlement ring. Instead of answering my certified letter(s) of cooperaton to work out a systematic way to process, pay and comply; CEO Lynn Blodgett does not comply, instead telling govt officials "nothing to do on my file" and they 'believe him' and use thst statement to deny life sustaining medical care and obstruct processing of timely filed and legal filings including remand orders of 15 appellate judges and 2 Hearing officers on an establihsed, non-controverted case with permament medical benefits already with a pattern of malfiesance against the file and me which has led to items proceesed/ paid and items not ever seen over the 25 years since injured on 1/10/89 as govt officials said I became a legal precedent case for those suffering from a toxic/ or chemical exposure. No attempt made to work out way to reconsruct /process and pay items nor stop hiding the oxygen claims instead he is defying judges whihc ruled I am to be asked for the facts and not him or any one else as no one has official access and to reconstruct the file from my records. Not even what the US Dept of Labor has accepted and and ruled on is known to pay for current care and benefits. And especially not even the ACS Call center has access to the 14 years of oxygen claims they have intentionally not input as they were ordered to "Let me die" as they said if input the system would pay them as approved for life is in it. which if I should die from this obstruction of access to medical care including the current of their two oxygen suppliers in my area they will not permit service for life to be.; my death certificate should say HOMICIDE. as it should on others already deceased. 14 years of timely filed oxygen claims intentionally 'hidden' by the London Ky Offce of ACS-Xerox is in itself "NEW" items never seen by my claims examiner((s) who are asked to make decision without official access any facts or file She doesn't even know how to get a file set up so any decision can be entered to produce payment or actions. ALl ACS has done is use some offline system and ignore appeals on the other bills process/not paid referirng to this missing million dollars. FEDERAL JUDGES HAVE RULED THAT;'ANYTIHNG IS CONSIDERED A 'NEW' ITEM IF IT HAS NEVER BEEN PROCESSED OR REVIEWED.
In my case the lastest Reconsideration request and follow-ups has been 'hidden' from my claims exaiminer, also, as they proceed to pass on false info that csse is closed as the official rcords tell it open with medical bills ot be paid by Fed Workers com on 02-0600326,
HR 1063 Medicare law is very applicable to my case and needs to be imlemented as their attempts to recover monies has been 'hidden' and ignored,also. Linda Joy Adams 1/14/14

All appeals are current and pending , but acs refuses to let the regional office know of them to respond: THE LAST ONE HAS BEEN FOLLOWED UP ON SEVERAL TIMES WITH NO RESPONSE AND SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN THE LAST DECISIONS WITHOUT THE FILE AND THE JUDGE'S REMAND ORDERS WHICH HAVE YET TO BE FOLLOWED. THE CRUCIAL DECISION IN 09 BY THE APPELLATE JUDGES WAS THAT I HAD RETURNED TO WORK IN 1990 WHICH STARTED THE WHOLE LAST ROUND OF DEATH PANELS. HHS, SSA HAS REFUSED FOR 26 YEARS TO COMPLETE THE CA7 LEAVE RECORD AND W/C BEGAN MY CHECKS IN '94 FROM MY PAY STUB AND IN 9/89 MY CLAIM EXAMINER CALLED AND GOT THE INFO RE SALARY AND INS INFO BUT OPM KNEW NOTHING AFTER 8/89 AS LEGALLY REQUIRED PROPER SHARING DID NOT GO ON IN A REAL SKULLDUGGERY DONE AND APPARENTLY ITS COMMON PLACE TO PLAY THESE KINDS OF GAMES WITH FEDERAL EMPLOYEES LIVES MANY TIMES OVER. AS THEY COULD NOT GET FELONIES COMMITTED BY DENYING FEDS OUR RIGHTS STOPPED AS LATER WAS TOLD EVEN THOSE CHARGED WERE PUT ON ADMINISTRATIVE LEAVE RATHER THAN HAVE A TRIAL AND THE PUBLICITY FORCE A STOP 9/11/01 AND ALL THE OTHER ATROCITIES THAT HAVE GONE ON LIKE THE OVERTHROW OF THE GOVT GOING FORWARD. INTO THE CONTROL OF AN INTERNATIONAL CABAL.Linda Joy Adams 5/14/15

Update: no reponse to date to pending reconsideration and so much else pending ordered done still live and followed up on periodically. with nearly 2 dozen judges and hearing officers remand orders ignored. . And remember the last one in 2009 affirmed the accepted conditions and ordered you to ask me for the facts of the case as "gossip and rumor had run amok and no one knew what was going on." And to reconstruct my files from my records and process and pay ,etc as already approved and that includes al the liquid oxygen claims pending, not input, since 2002, etc. as 'Blodgett ordered ' if you did they would be paid and the 'gig' would be up." BUT LYNN Blodgett LIED TO everyone at the highest levels of the real government and all believed him and di as he verbally ordered done to hack and alter official records etc.
Including Ms. STARKE 'BELIEVED' WHAT HE SAID AS Congress ORDERED HERAS SHE HAD NO RIGHT TO FIND OUT OR HAVE ACCESS TO MY FILES OR RECORDS HE HELD 'HOSTAGE' AND OR DISAPPEARED AS HE HAS THAT POWER OVER MOST OF THE RECORDS AND DATA OF THE ENTIRE NATION NOW. AND NATIONS OF THE WORLD HIS BOSS DOES. SHE HAD TO AS HE OVER RULES JUDGES, LAWS, CONGRA'T TERMS AND REGULATIONS EVEN IF LIFE ENDANGERED AS HE ORDERED 'LET HER DIE ON ME. PLUS WHERE IS THE MILLION DOLLARS HIS CALL CENTER SAW ON THEIR SYSTEM BACK IN 2002 AND REFERRED TO WITH EVERY NONE OXYGEN CLAIM WAS PUT IN A FUND AT MILLION DOLLARS A HEAD ON ESTABLISHED CASES WITH PERMANENT AND TOTAL MEDICAL BENEFITS UNDER THE 1988 LABOR LAW, LIKE MINE WHICH IS ESTIMATED TO BE OVER 100 MILLION DOLLARS AND AS MUCH AS 200 MILLION THAT DISAPPEARED INSIDE HIS COMPANY OR OVER 150 OF HIS COMPANIES OF HIS INTERNATIONAL CABAL OF WHICH HE IS JUST THE RULER OF THE USA.
BACK IN 2002 WHEN DEASON WAS 'BOUGHT ' OUT AND HE TOOK OVER. CONTROL. OF NOW THE NEARLY TOTAL CONTROL OF THE USA IN THE 'coup of 2002' and every one in high leadership said nothing TO US OR CONGRESS and went ALONG with it as even Congress gagged ITSELF to not contact or 'bother' a government contractor which has taken over the USA now at nearly every level. An unconstitutional rule to not be able , with my signature ,go find my government files and data where ever they are that are not being processed. I STRUGGLE FOR LIFE AND RIGHTS DUE TO NO GOVERNMENT IN CHARGE OF A NATION.SINCE THE 'COUP OF 2002' VOTED IN BY CONGRESS E GOVERNING LAWS. FOR NO INTERAL AUDITS AND NO CRIMINAL OVER SIGHT AND SEC CANNOT UNRAVEL AMAZE OF CONFLICTING INTERSTS AND ILLEGAL SECRET DEALS AS NONE HAS FUNDING TO ACT. FEW KNEW WHAT THEY VOTED FOR AND FEW KNOW NOW WHAT IS GOING ON THAT THEY ARE ONLY 'PLAYING' AT GOVERNMENT AS THE POWER AND CONTROL IS CURRENTLY UNDER CEO LYNN BLODGETT AND HIS COHORTS AND BOSS.

UPDATE: No response!ACS has never posted my file from my records as last 3 appellate judges ordered 'NO ONE KNOWS WHAT IS GOING" "you are to ask me for the facts of the case as rumor and gossip has run amok! Lynn Blodgett, contractor knowingly lied to you. '98 my file stolen, a pattern of criminal activity/cover up since 1988 before 1/10/89 injuries and deaths. Many remand orders for a lot to be done on matters legally alive. Appeals unanswered; initial decisions back to 1989 legally pending with follow ups. 1988 labor law gave permanent 100% medical benefits when FECA put me on liquid oxygen 22 years ago. Life endangered! Lynn Blodgett's order is "let her die" and nationwide on every ones workers comp he has never input an oxygen claim as his manager said when she explained they would be paid and "the gig would be" Medicare sends you recovery letters and no one at US DOL pays them or Fed Blues. George Soros is saying he is behind all of this now and seems to have some connected to the owner of the buildings liability insurer?
Nor did I receive the million dollars ACS told medical providers and Lincare to use for my medical care in 2002 when ACS took over control of FECA. Please do not forget this last issues was caused do the last pattern of riffling of my files which is a felony act against me and I have struggled to stay live with no real government in charge to now what a contractor is doing nor law enforcement to prosecute one since funding was removed by congress in the COUP OF 2002. Congress can not help as they have a self imposed unconstitutional gag order rule to not mention, contact or have a contractor testify. And no one in the real government knows what is going on as the contractors of a maze of shell companies and illegal secret deal partnerships of an international cabal now has control of the USA and FECA. The real government only knows what they are allowed to know and often blatantly false info is spewed out by this cabal as has occurred in my case. As no one can even officially have my file and all the judges orders.
So one get injured on the job and be approved with a non controverted case, become a type of medical precedent case for the deceased of ones own federal work site and than a type of national medical precedent case for now over 11 million according to some studies, and one has no security on ones files or data anywhere and when FECA file riffled and stolen and data hacked or never set up connected to the real system, then when one says they wish their rights and chooses to live then one is put be under an illegal order to "let her die."
In our system, as a precedent case, what I get is what everyone else gets and this is a holocaust for too many of us. YOU WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO GET AN OXYGEN SUPPLER AS NO CLAIM WILL EVER BE PROCESSED AS ACS HAS OVER 15 YEARS OF MINE NOT INPUT AND YOUR FAMILY WILL HAUL 200 LB LIQUID OXYGEN TANKS TO THE GAS COMPANY AND PAY TO KEEP YOU ALIVE AS THERE IS NO GOVERNMENT TO ENFORCE ITS LAWS TO SAVE YOUR LIFE IF THE ONE now claiming to be in charge of the world and the USA says he does not wish it to be?
May we set up a system to work through this backlog as Director and Sec of Labor tried to do and got stopped by Blodgett? But current needs have to be met and Lincare needs to be paid in full and allowed to sent in their part of the claims I had to file for their protection. Plus Medicare and Fed Blues under Lynn Blodgett repaid. as well as current checks and other bills taken care of. AND WHERE IS THE MISSING MILLION for me AND SOME SAY 200 OTHERS FOR OUR CARE LAST SEEN ON THE OFFINE SYSTM AT ACS? Linda Joy Adams 8/27/16

update:11/14/18
NO CHANGE (worse as no meds being made now for 40% of us who are non allergic.asthmatics..and.this.is now called the lymphatic organ. affecting entire body by published study by/studies from Mt Sinai in NYC where.it was first described.to me about my injuries over 25 years ago when a patients there. BLODGETT/ROTHSCHILD STILL DEFIES LAWS JUDGES AND CONTROLS ALL WORKERS COMP.IN.USA and will not process anyone's oxygen claims as his precedent to defy rights of life. And suppliers will not take us and as claims go unprocessed like me with three plans approved for life for liquid oxygen but its FECA"S bill approved for life and Medicare judges. ruled and massive amounts owed back to primary employer plan FEHB Blues and Medicare.. NOW This contractor in control of MOST OF GOVT WITH NO OSERSIGHT Allowed BY LAW PASSED BY.CONGRESS IN.2002. yet govt will not share this truth with those thinking judges and laws and contractors are accountable. and an illegal cover up as CAB judges at US DOL said No one KNOWS.IS.WHAT.THE.CONTRACTOR.WSHES.TO.BE.KNOWN. and your own judges said to ask me and reconstruct files from my records again..and get things processed and paid as they ordered over and over.. as too many suffer and die.. for what appends to a legal precedent case..
New studies indicate over 20 million affected by what occurs on my cases by you..and numbers ADDED DAILY AND no mediations no treatment standards allowed to followed.
NO GOVT IN CHARGE AND JUDGES DEFIED AS CONRACTORS RULE...and massive public monies gone missing inside contractors cabal of one entity None have a govt to turn to for deadly Lawlessness going on and for me its the same in multiple agencies with the same entity in charge. just company names change.
In 1998,my FECA case had to be gone so that a flawed study. could allow life threatening chemical binders put in most of our pills with no warning labels and 2005 remand orders defied so that Dow could put these fillers in much of our food supply with no warning labels wither for up to 40% of all of us.. as we do not exist in the data bases as no precedent cases now... Since all of health care now under this entity control, newly injured find not even testing and diagnoses can be done..And no need for medications to be made for millions either. Compounding some inhalers. but no rescue inhalers when my supply ends and having to titrate out the violent inflamer from theophylline with synthesizes the liquid oxygen as TECA blocked from making the safe one for over 4 years now for work site issues and due to alteration of national data base of all by same entity contractor to make us all COPD patents FDA HAS NO IDEA OVER 20 MILLION PATIENTS EVEN EXIST Linda joy Adams
