Dear Government Services,

Thank you for your reply, which fails to answer the question i have asked.

Therefore please confirm that ACC do not record the cause of a clients death whether accident or illness. simply answer "Yes" or "No"

If Yes please revisit my prior question.

Yours sincerely,

Karl Bloxham

Good morning Mr Bloxham

Thank you for your further email.

As previously advised in our letter, the information ACC records, about the cause of a client's death, depends on individual circumstances relating to each claim.

In some situations we, would record the cause of death on the deceased client's file and in some situations we do not.

Our previous responses have provided the detail related to your questions.

Yours sincerely
