��AT Held or ��DT Pronouncements

��AT held that ��DT did not err on a question of law or fact and had identified the relevant administrative decision to trigger the time limits for a request for management evaluation. ��AT held there was no legal difference between an assignment and a reassignment. ��AT held that the Appellant��s argument that two different administrative decisions were notified to her was without merit. ��AT held that the Appellant��s argument that a communication of entitlements and benefits cannot constitute a notification of the underlying administrative decision concerning status was without merit. ��AT dismissed the appeal and affirmed the ��DT judgment.

Decision Contested or Judgment/Order Appealed

The Applicant contested the decision not to pay her a number of benefits and entitlements following her reassignment to Uganda due to an outbreak of Ebola in Liberia. ��DT rejected her application as not receivable because she had failed to contest the terms of her reassignment by requesting management evaluation within sixty days.
