Number of people who had home help hours cut

Taryn Estcourt made this Official Information request to Accident Compensation Corporation

This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for Taryn Estcourt to read a recent response and update the status.

From: Taryn Estcourt

Dear Accident Compensation Corporation,

I have two requests as follows:

1. Since the national govt came in how many long term claims were 'audited' in August 2025? and; 1.2 had their weekly compensation cut?

2. How many people with severe PTSD claims whom are suicidal and have had long term home help of over 30 hours have just had their hours cut severely regardless of reports advising them not to?

Yours faithfully,

Taryn Estcourt
