Appeal against the decision

Check service, legal-remedy notice and the general four-week period under section 7 VwGVG.

To challenge a decision, check service, the legal-remedy notice and the complete decision first. The portal only calculates a standard four-week orientation.

Unclear service or differing notices require immediate file review.

General appeal period

Section 7 VwGVG generally provides a four-week period. Effective service and the actual decision remain decisive.

Service and notice first

  • service date and proof
  • complete decision and attachments
  • wording of legal-remedy notice
  • filing authority named in the decision

Online result is orientation only

The check adds four weeks to the entered service date. It does not confirm service or special-case computation.

Build the appeal from the file

The appeal must address the operative part, reasons and file. The portal does not generate appeal text.
