A request must be made within three months from the day after the person learned of the decision, unless they show a good reason why they could not (Article 8, paragraph (1)). A person dissatisfied with a decision on insurance benefits may ask the examiner for review, and a person dissatisfied with the examiner's decision may ask the Labor Insurance Appeal Committee (労働保険審査会) to re-examine it (Industrial Accident Compensation Insurance Act, Article 38, paragraph (1)). Where the examiner has made no decision three months after the request, the person who made it may treat the request as dismissed (Article 38, paragraph (2)). A court action to revoke the decision cannot be brought until the examiner has decided the request (Article 40). Under the Labor Standards Act, a person dissatisfied with the result of the review or arbitration that the administrative authority (行政官庁) carries out on a dispute over accident compensation (災害補償) — who is injured or ill in the course of work, the treatment, the amount — may ask the examiner for review or arbitration (Labor Standards Act, Articles 85, paragraph (1), and 86, paragraph (1)).
