informal claim, if a formal claim has not<br />
been filed, an application form will be<br />
forwarded to <strong>the</strong> claimant for execution.<br />
• If received within 1 year from <strong>the</strong> <strong>date</strong> it<br />
was sent to <strong>the</strong> claimant, it will be<br />
considered filed as <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>date</strong> <strong>of</strong> receipt <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong> informal claim.“)<br />
