As long as OWCP is following their own regulations, and by everything you've posted they have, there is nothing a Congressperson or Senator can do to alter the outcome. While they can inquire, OWCP will simply explain how they've followed their own regulations.
Again, you cannot plug in #3 because you don't know what that amount is going to be yet. That's based on the job they determine you can do. They could come back and say that job pays $25,000 a year or they could come back and say it pays $50,000 a year.
The current pay rate is used to determine your wage earning capacity.
#1: $413.60 date of injury weekly pay rate
#2: $950.40 current weekly pay rate
#3: $500.00 (using $26,000 a year as wages you're capable of earning)
#4: 53% wage earning capacity #3 divided by #2
#5: $219.21 wage earning capacity #4 x #1
#6: $194.39 loss of wage earning capacity #1 - #5
$194.39 x 75% compensation rate = $145.79 paid to you per week
Just to be perfectly clear, there is no scenario on this planet where OWCP is going to give you a 'raise'.
