Decision Summary
The appeal was rejected on procedural grounds without reviewing its merits. The regulations state that only an 'affected party,' in this case the petitioner, has the legal standing to file an appeal. The appeal was improperly filed by the beneficiary's counsel, not the petitioner, and therefore had to be rejected.
