David Lawson made this Official Information request to Accident Compensation Corporation

The request was partially successful.

From: David Lawson

Dear Accident Compensation Corporation,

Thank you for the provision of a copy of ACC's ACC29 File summary and overview form on the 4/03/2020.

I note that directly under the header ACC File summary and overview form that it is stated as follows;

"Fill in this form if you're a case owner and you need to transfer a claim to another branch or the Overseas Claims Unit."

OIA Request 1:

Please provide all official information and policy documentation associated with the Corporation's Overseas Claims Unit.

OIA Request 2

Please also confirm:-

(i) When the Corporation's Overseas Claims Unit came into existence.
(ii) Whether the Corporation's Overseas Claims Unit is still in existance and or has been rebranded but is in essence the same as the Overseas Claims Unit that was functioning in June 2014.
(iii) On a yearly basis to the end of each ACC financial year since the Corporation's Overseas Claims Unit has been in existence please confirm the number of ACC claimants that have been transferred to the Overseas Claims Unit

I confirm that under s16(2) of the Official Information Act, my preferred way of receiving a response is by email to the address from which ACC received the original request, not by post.

Thank you for your time and assistance.

Yours faithfully,

David Lawson
