The Director, when notifying an applicant or an assisted person of a decision made in relation to that person under this Law, shall, in such notice, advise the person of his right to apply for a reconsideration of the decision under this section.
An assisted person or an applicant, who is aggrieved by a decision of the Director that affects that person, may apply in the prescribed manner to the Director for a reconsideration of the decision.
The application shall, subject to subsection (4), be made within twenty working days after the date on which notice of the relevant decision is given to the person.
The Director may accept a late application no later than three months after the date on which notice of the relevant decision was given to the person if the Director is satisfied that exceptional circumstances prevented the application from being made within twenty working days after the date on which notice was given.
A failure by the Director to advise a person of his right to seek a reconsideration does not of itself establish exceptional circumstances for the purposes of subsection (4).
The Director may decline to reconsider a decision if he has already reconsidered that decision or a decision relating to substantially the same issue.
A person shall not appeal a decision of the Director unless the person has first sought and obtained a reconsideration of that decision under this section.
