Key legal question
Whether transitional daily allowance and transitional compensation had to be determined by formal decision rather than informally.
Extracted holding
Because the benefits were significant, the insurer was required to issue a formal decision; informal handling was not permitted.
Extracted reasoning
Under Art. 49(1) ATSG and the UVG/VUV provisions, significant benefits and disputed benefits must be decided by formal written decision; periodic monetary benefits are in any event significant.
