(a) Initial review. Claims Evaluators shall review the forms filed by the claimant and either deem the claim ``filed'' (pursuant to Sec. 104.22(a)) or notify the claimant of any deficiency in the forms or any required documents.
(b) Procedure. The Claims Evaluator shall determine eligibility and the claimant's presumed award pursuant to Secs. 104.43 to 104.46 of this part and, within 75 days of the date the claim was deemed filed, notify the claimant in writing of the eligibility determination, the amount of the presumed award, and the right to request a hearing before the Special Master or her designee under Sec. 104.33 of this part. After an eligible claimant has been notified of the presumed award, within 30 days the claimant may either accept the presumed compensation determination as the final determination and request payment, or may instead request a review before the Special Master or her designee pursuant to Sec. 104.33. Claimants found to be ineligible may appeal pursuant to Sec. 104.32.
(c) Multiple claims from the same family. The Special Master may treat claims brought by or on behalf of two or more members of the same immediate family as related or consolidated claims for purposes of determining the amount of any award.
