Hooper v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2016] NZACC 152
- Court
- District Court
The appellant failed to produce cogent contrary medical or vocational evidence to displace the qualified assessors; the rehabilitation plan was reasonable and implemented, the VIOA adequately addressed literacy and computer skills, the VIMA appropriately considered psychological material and did not omit required analysis, and medical assessors need not make educational assessments; therefore the decision that the appellant had vocational independence as of 20 June 2013 was correct and the appeal is dismissed.
