- Court
- District Court
The medical evidence established the appellant's ongoing condition is acromioclavicular joint arthropathy of degenerative origin and not causally attributable to the covered rotator cuff sprain from 21 May 2014; Wellnz therefore had a sufficient evidential basis under s117 to be 'not satisfied' that entitlement should continue and lawfully suspended entitlements; the review decision upholding the suspension was correct and the appeal is dismissed.
