Summary:
Delay of 6 months to file her appeal. Explained that she had temporarily left the area for personal reasons shortly after receiving the BOR's decision. Held that no special reasons shown. Jurisprudence has established that being out of town is not an acceptable reason for delay since an appeal can be launched by mail.
Jurisprudence provides that delays have been allowed for compassionate reasons or for reasons beyond the claimant's control. Ignorance of the appeal process, forgetfulness or simple negligence do not constitute "special reasons".
