Bell v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2005] NZACC 179
- Court
- District Court
Rehabilitation objectives in the IRP were achieved and referral was not premature; the occupational assessor permissibly identified specific sales subcategories based on the appellant's skills and experience; the medical assessor conducted a thorough assessment, considered solvent exposure and fatigue and relied on medical panel findings, and absent clear compelling evidence to the contrary the decision that the appellant had capacity for work in four identified job types (30+ hours/week) was correct; appeal dismissed.
