This will require your attendance before the Hearing Officer on the next available date to explain the reasons for your extension request (which should be detailed on this request form). Extensions of time to request a Hearing will be subject to the decision of the Hearing Officer and, depending on the decision of the Hearing Officer, you should be prepared to proceed with your appeal on the same day; and
