Doidge v Accident Compensation Corporation (Attendant Care Needs)
- Citation
- [2018] NZACC 100
- Court
- District Court
The Corporation lawfully conducted a reassessment in changed circumstances; the 2015 SNA by Ms Bay identified specific night-time needs and viable options and provided adequate reasoning to justify replacing regular sleepover funding with intermittent/sporadic funded supports and family assistance; issue estoppel did not apply to preclude reassessment; consequently the Corporation's discretionary decision of 10 February 2016 reducing sleepover funding and setting attendant care at the challenged levels was not flawed and was upheld.
