Notice of Decision

AUTHORITY

Assured Income for the Severely Handicapped Act, sections 10(2) and 10(4)

INTENT

To clearly inform an affected party in a timely manner of a decision made by the AISH program.

Note
An affected party can be an applicant, a client, a financial administrator, a sponsor of a landed immigrant or a third party.
POLICY

The decision-making process is to be consistent, fair, open, and transparent. When a decision is made, the following information is communicated to the affected party in a timely manner:

  • The decision;
  • The reason(s) for the decision;
  • The date of the decision;
  • The possible next steps the affected party could take;
  • Whether the decision is appealable; and
  • For appealable decisions, the time limit for the affected party to provide written notice of their intention to appeal.


An affected party must submit their intent to appeal in writing to the Appeals Secretariat within 30 days from the date they were notified of the decision and of their right to appeal. The 30-day time limit can be extended if there are apparent grounds for appeal and a reasonable explanation for the delay. Decisions to extend the time limit are made by staff members of the Appeals Secretariat delegated by the Minister.
