Parkinson v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2014] NZACC 91
- Court
- District Court
The VIMA by Dr Hartshorn was adequate and properly considered history, rehabilitation, FCE results, pain and medication; the evidence supported vocational independence in the work types Refuge Worker and Hospitality Worker NEC but the VIOA findings were modified as to clerical roles because of limited current computer/clerical skills and Diversional Therapist was only suitable in an unqualified supervised role; on balance the appellant was not shown to be disabled from light/sedentary 30+ hour work in the two upheld roles and the appeal is dismissed.
