Neuro-Optometry Entitlement when Concussion Services Ineligible to Claimant

Anthony Jordan made this Official Information request to Accident Compensation Corporation

The request was partially successful.

From: Anthony Jordan

Dear Accident Compensation Corporation,

The current guidelines state that for a Concussion/mTBI related injury, entitlement to the use of Concussion services, a claimant must have had an injury not more than twelve months old.

For those Claimants experiencing subsequent and ongoing Impairment(s) as a consequence of Concussion/mTBI, please supply the following:

1/ Access to Neuro-Optometrist funding where a Claimant falls out of the usual time limit as mentioned above

and

2/ Current resources (including copies of) the Corporation have available to them in the event a Case Manager or Branch Medical Adviser requires further research to Neurological Related Visual Impairments

Yours faithfully,

Anthony Jordan
