If you ask for a review of a decision made about your claim, the reviewer needs to set a date for the hearing. If they don't set this date within 3 months of getting your review application, and it's not your fault that it's delayed, the law says that the reviewer has automatically decided in your favour. This is called a 'deemed decision'. The date of this deemed decision is exactly 3 months after the Corporation received your review application.
