Where a New York claimant failed to complete the information “box” for question 13 of the RB-89 form (Application for Review), within which claimant would otherwise have provided details as to “[h]earing dates, [t]ranscripts, [d]ocuments, [e]xhibits, and other evidence that she would rely upon in her administrative appeal, the Application was defective and the Workers' Compensation Board was within its discretion to deny claimant's application on that basis, held a state appellate court.
