Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the already paid daily benefits must be recalculated on a higher insured salary basis
Decisione estratta
The request was denied because the insured did not timely request an appealable decision on the daily-benefit calculations; the earlier settlements became final.
Motivazione estratta
Monthly daily-benefit calculations were handled informally under the ATSG regime. The insured raised the higher wage claim only years later, without having requested a formal decision within a reasonable time. No ground for reopening existed.
