notify the applicant in writing, within five days of the receipt of the request, of the place
and date of hearing, which hearing shall be held not less than thirty days from the date of
mailing of the notice. The hearing may be conducted by the administrator or by a hearing

represented by counsel and a transcript of the hearing shall be made. If the hearing is
conducted by a hearing officer, he shall state his findings and make recommendation to
the administrator on the issue of the denial of the application. The administrator, based
upon such findings and recommendations of the hearing officer, or after a hearing conducted by him, shall render a decision in writing denying the application or granting it in
accordance with the regulations of the Soldiers, Sailors and Marines Fund. A copy of
such decision shall be sent by registered mail to the applicant. An applicant aggrieved by
said decision may appeal therefrom as provided in section 27-138c.
