Van der Swaluw v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2003] NZACC 106
- Court
- District Court
Regulations required a written application to trigger commencement of attendant care and home help payments; the doctor's letter received 26 January 1999 satisfied the written application requirement for home help so entitlement was backdated to that date; no written application for attendant care existed before 30 June 1999 so attendant care could only be backdated to 1 July 1999; the Court's extension of cover did not amount to a deemed application for other entitlements.
