In this regard, in 2012, the IVAC rejected 39 applications because the event occurred prior to the entry into force of the Act and 69 others because it concluded that there was no evidence of injury.

In this regard, it is important to note that the deadline for challenging a decision regarding permanent disability is 90 days and the deadline for all other decisions is 30 days. These time limits are always listed at the end of the written decision by the IVAC\u2019s Direction, as well as the nature of the proceedings that can be undertaken to challenge this decision.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, in 2012, the Bureau de la r\u00e9vision administrative IVAC-Civisme reviewed 1,931 files from dissatisfied victims.
