Compensatory damages won’t be paid unless you respond within 15 days
Note: You must be prepared to answer a letter requesting evidence in support of your claim for compensatory damages within 15 days. This means you should have this done well in advance, and only respond with the work (evidence) you did to support your claim.
After a review of the revised record in the instant appeal, it is
clear that the agency’s July 22, 1997 letter requesting evidence
of compensatory damages asked for sufficiently specific and detailed
information concerning complainant’s damages, and informed her of the need
to provide the information within 15 days or face dismissal of her claims.
The record also shows that complainant has not provided the requested
information at any time after her receipt of the letter on July 31, 1997.
Therefore, as complainant has failed to respond to the agency’s request
for evidence in support of her claim of compensatory damages, we find
her claim moot pursuant to 29 C.F.R. § 1614.107(a)(5)
