How long do I have to apply for adjudication?

1. Open the claim and go to What came back. Where this claim stands, at the top, names the windows open on this claim and the last day of each. It shows a day that has already run out; it does not hide it.
2. If a payment schedule came back for less than you claimed, the window runs from the day THEIR SCHEDULE REACHED YOU. It does not run from the day payment fell due. So it is shorter than most people expect. If you claim the shortfall again on next month's claim, that does not keep the window open.
3. If no payment schedule came back, the window runs from the payment due date. In most states, it runs only after you give them one written notice and they have a few days to answer it.
4. Queensland has no such notice, so its window counts differently. Where your state has a notice, YourCA fills it in. You sign it and serve it yourself.
5. If they scheduled an amount and then did not pay it, a third window applies, with its own last day. It covers the amount they already agreed to pay.
6. YourCA counts every date on your own state's business day calendar, including its December shutdown. Each date carries the section of the Act it comes from, so you can check it.
7. On a schedule that came back short, the comparison pack under the reconciliation carries the same dates. It also has the line by line comparison and their reasons. So you can give one document to your adviser.
