§ 315. Claims procedures. Claims shall be subject to the

administrative procedures prescribed for claims filed with the chairman

for disability benefits payable under section two hundred seven.

The chairman may require a claimant under this article to file the

same proofs required under other articles of this chapter or other

proofs for determination of rights under this article, and may require

the employer or any former employer of the claimant and the local

reasonably necessary for such determination. If any such report or

information is not filed or furnished, the chairman may make

determination on the basis of available information, including the

claimant's statement.
