The opinion
SCHUMAN, J.,
dissenting.
I agree with everything in this opinion except the conclusion. In my opinion, claimant’s confusion resulted in major part from insurer’s initial nonresponsiveness followed by its written denial, and the confusion amounted to “good cause” for failing to file her request for a hearing on time. The board acted outside its lawful range of discretion in concluding otherwise.
