Questão jurídica principal
Whether the claim to premium subsidies was forfeited because supporting documents were not filed within the deadline
Decisão extraída
No. § 11(3) VO PV only provides forfeiture if the 30-day deadline for returning the signed application form is missed; it does not create forfeiture for late supporting documents.
Fundamentação extraída
The application form itself was returned within 30 days. The office's warning letters had no legal basis for declaring forfeiture due to missing documents. If requested documents are not submitted, the consequence is at most that the substantive entitlement is not proven and the application must be rejected on the merits.
