Perkins v Accident Rehabilitation and Compensation Insurance Corporation
- Citation
- [2000] NZACC 19
- Court
- District Court
Because the appellant was assessed under s.60 of the Accident Compensation Act 1982 (transitioned by s.141) and receives permanent weekly compensation that does not abate, he does not fall within s.22 entitlement and s.23 prevents funding as it would not be cost-effective; additionally an earlier primary decision of 11 May 1998 denied vocational assistance and the appellant failed to seek review within the s.89 time limit, so the decision denying funding stands and the appeal must be dismissed.
