a communication has been sent to the defaulting practitioner at his, her or its last known correspondence address or to his, her or its representative informing the defaulting practitioner of the nature and value of the application; and

(b)

not less than eight days have elapsed since the date of receipt of such communication, which shall be regarded as the day following the date of the communication.
