Rogers v Accident Rehabilitation and Compensation Insurance Corporation

Citation

[1998] NZACC 205
Court

District Court

On the evidence, particularly the investigator's observations which went uncontradicted, there was a serious doubt that home help was being provided; the respondent was therefore justified in suspending payments and the original suspension was correct; reinstatement requires a formal reassessment and proof of properly approved helper and receipts.

Ritchie v Accident Rehabilitation and Compensation Insurance Corporation

Citation

[1995] NZACC 67
Court

District Court

The appellant failed to establish that the assessor's rating and the Review Officer's affirmation were incorrect; the Review Officer had carefully considered the evidence and reasonably concluded the rating of 9 did not meet the statutory threshold, therefore the decision to deny home help was upheld.
