23.2.10 Rehearing An applicant or member may request a rehearing by DHA. The request must be made within 20 days of the date of the decision. DHA may grant or refuse the request. A rehearing will be held only when there has been: • An error of law. • An error of important fact. • New evidence discovered which could not have been presented at the first hearing. DHA will usually not grant a rehearing unless the error or new evidence is sufficiently important to change the decision. If DHA neither grants nor denies a rehearing request within 30 days, the request is deemed denied. Note Even if a rehearing is granted, the agency must continue to comply with the final decision unless and until a decision from the rehearing reverses it. 23.2.11 Judicial Appeals An applicant or member that disagrees with the final decision may appeal to the Circuit Court of their residence. They must do this within 30 days of the date of the decision or rehearing denial, whichever is later.
