Key legal question
Whether the compensation office could refuse to consider the objection for lack of sufficient reasoning and evidence.
Extracted holding
The objection contained both a request and at least rudimentary reasoning; supporting documents are not an admissibility requirement. The office had to enter into the objection and examine it on the merits.
Extracted reasoning
Art. 10 ATSV requires only a request and a reasoned objection. The appellant identified the challenged decision and explained, in basic form, why he disputed the assumed waiver of assets and hypothetical income. Missing evidence may affect the merits, but not admissibility.
