I am finished. I am sorry; it was the decisions. When the chairman sends out a letter, he knows well that it has to be clear, according to the legislation. It has to be a decision, so the survivor can appeal that decision. Is he aware at this precise time how many survivors have received letters that are not clear and therefore they cannot appeal? Some were sorted out by the appeals officer, but other survivors have been left with a letter with which they could not appeal. For example, they were told their case was complete or given some other reason, and when they went to the appeals officer it was not a decision. The ones that went to the appeals officer were corrected, but the other ones have never been corrected. Is the chairman aware of how many survivors have got such letters that have now allowed them to appeal?
