PART 842--ADMINISTRATIVE CLAIMS--Table of Contents
 
  Subpart M--Claims Under the National Guard Claims Act (32 U.S.C. 715)
 
Sec. 842.112  Appeal of final denials.

    This paragraph explains the steps to take when a denial is appealed.
    (a) A claimant may appeal the final denial of the claim. The 
claimant sends the request, in writing, to the initial settlement 
authority within a reasonable time following the final denial. Sixty 
days is considered a reasonable time, but the time limit may be waived 
for good cause.
    (b) The initial settlement authority reviews the appeal.
    (c) Where the settlement authority does not reach a final agreement 
with the claimant on an appealed claim, the entire claim file is sent to 
the next higher settlement authority, who is the appellate authority for 
that claim.
    (d) The decision of the appellate authority is the final 
administrative action on the claim.
