The Dear Colleague letter below explains an upcoming change to the AC appeal process, in which the AC will no longer wait to act on a request for review for an initial 25-day period. However, claimants and representatives can still request extensions of time to submit evidence and arguments to the AC as described in HALLEX I-3-1-14.
