Questão jurídica principal
Whether the radio fee exemption could take effect retroactively from the date of the complementary-benefits award.
Decisão extraída
No. Exemption under Art. 45(3) ORTV takes effect only from the end of the month in which the exemption request is filed.
Fundamentação extraída
The legislation requires a written exemption request; entitlement to complementary benefits does not automatically exempt the person from fees. The statutory scheme does not provide retroactivity.
