OWCP Doctor Claymont NY
Claymont sits at Delaware's northern edge, on the Pennsylvania line, which makes it the state's most Philadelphia-facing community. A large share of its federal workers commute north rather than working in Delaware at all. That does not change their claim or their choice of doctor. Our Wilmington office is about 15 minutes south.

Federal commuters into Philadelphia
Claymont's position on the SEPTA line into Philadelphia makes it a bedroom community for federal employment across the state line: federal courts and agency offices, VA facilities, TSA at Philadelphia International, and the postal network on the Pennsylvania side. Under FECA, eligibility follows your federal employer. A Claymont resident hurt at a federal worksite in Pennsylvania files the same federal claim as a colleague who lives there, and can be treated here at home rather than near the office.
USPS - Retail and Letter Carrier Dispatch
USPS Claymont and northern New Castle routes
Northern New Castle County carrier routes mix older row housing with newer development, so carriers work both walking and driving routes across a shift. Winter is the sharp end of the year here: ice on steps and driveways drives a predictable spike in fall claims between December and March.
One thing worth being clear about for Claymont commuters: your claim is adjudicated by the OWCP district covering your employing agency's location, which for Pennsylvania worksites is also Philadelphia. Either way the district does not choose your doctor. You do.
Getting Here from Claymont
Our nearest office is the Wilmington Office at 1521 Concord Pike, Suite 203, Wilmington, DE 19803.
By Car
South on I-495 or Philadelphia Pike, about 15 minutes into Wilmington. Traffic on I-495 through the industrial corridor is the main variable.
By Transit
Claymont has SEPTA Regional Rail service on the Wilmington to Philadelphia line, and DART connects locally into Wilmington. Rail is genuinely useful here in both directions.
Your Claim District
Delaware claims are handled by OWCP's Philadelphia district office. That surprises people, but it changes nothing about your care: you choose your own treating physician under FECA, and that choice is not limited by which district holds your file. It also means a Delaware resident who commutes to a federal job in Pennsylvania, Maryland or New Jersey is still filing the same federal claim, and can still be treated here at home.
Why a Named Physician Matters
OWCP claims succeed or fail on medical documentation. Dr. Moalemi, board-certified in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R), personally signs your reports and IME paperwork. A named, credentialed specialist in your file carries more weight with the Department of Labor than a generic note from a rotating clinic. See his full credentials and background.

Frequently Asked Questions
I live in Claymont and work a federal job in Philadelphia. Where do I get treated?
Wherever you choose. FECA gives you the right to select your own treating physician, and nothing restricts that choice to the state where you work. Being treated close to home is usually easier to sustain across months of follow-up appointments.
Does it complicate my claim to be treated in a different state from my worksite?
No. It is common and routine. What matters to the Department of Labor is the quality and consistency of the medical documentation, not the state line between your office and your doctor.
