Dennis v Accident Rehabilitation and Compensation Insurance Corporation

- Court
- District Court
The Home Help decision was time‑barred under s89(5) because no written review application was made within three months and that statutory limit is mandatory; the approved assessor’s finding of 5% whole person impairment, when reduced by the prior 20% lump sum per s54(1), yields no net entitlement and fails the 10% threshold, so no independence allowance is payable.
