��AT Held or ��DT Pronouncements

Pursuant to staff rule 11.2(c), the Applicant should have requested management evaluation of the 31 August 2021 decision by 30 October 2021, or even earlier, if the intent was to argue against the recovery decision communicated between 30 June and 9 July. The Applicant was contemplating resorting to management evaluation already in July 2021, he, however, requested management evaluation only on 3 November 2021, which was after both deadlines.

Decision Contested or Judgment/Order Appealed

Decision to recover the relocation grant (��RLG��) and daily subsistence allowance (��DSA��) portion of the settling-in grant paid to the Applicant upon his return to his parent duty station at ��HQ in New York from a temporary assignment with MINUSCA.

Legal Principle(s)

Where the request for management evaluation is time-barred, the application before the ��DT is not receivable because the ��DT Statute forbids the waiving of time limits for management evaluation. An untimely request for management evaluation bars applications before the Tribunal even if management evaluation was actually received.

Outcome

Dismissed as not receivable

Outcome Extra Text

The application is rejected as not receivable.
