Dear Mr Lawson

 

Official Information Act request

 

Thank you for your email of 11 September 2017 requesting the following
information under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act):

 

I respectfully request that ACC provide me under the Official Information
Act the full list of ACC Code Descriptions that ACC apply as part of the
Administrative Review when an ACC client applies for a review.

 

To avoid any confusion I have listed several Code Descriptions that will
be included in the full list of Code descriptions that I am seeking and
which are coded under the Administrative review section of a claim file
when a claimant has applied for review;

 

Code description:    X8 Suspension/Cessation of Entitlements

Code description:    Z1 Physical Treatment Regulations

Code description:    Z5 Jurisdiction - Other

 

I respectfully welcome the full list of ACC Code Descriptions that ACC use
when completing the Code Description field on the Administrative  review
section of a clients claim file, being provided to me under urgency within
5 working days from today, being by the end of business close on 19th
September 2017.

 

In line with section 12 (3) of the Official Information Act, I list my
reasonable reasons for urgency below;

 

1. The information requested is readily held by ACC, and thus is easily
retrievable for the supply to me with in the requested time frame,

 

2. The information requested is required to enable me to establish the
validity of the Code descriptions that have been previously, and will be
allocated in future by ACC staff when conducting Administrative reviews
for the purposes of review of ACC's decisions and the alternative dispute
resolution options that were available to myself.

 

3. This information is required to be used in current, alternative dispute
resolution, review and appeal proceedings.

 

4. This information will allow me to work with ACC to ensure that prior to
review proceedings commencing, in some of the more recent applications for
review, that ACC and I agree completely that the Code descriptions that
have been allocated are in fact the correct and legitimate codes that will
validate the alternative dispute resolution process that follows.

 

5. Agreement of the correct Code description will ensure that my
applications for reviews avoid any and all unreasonable delay in the
alternative dispute resolution/review process, that would further
unreasonably delay the Corporations actions that will prolong me being
able to get claimed injuries properly assessed, treated and rehabilitated.

 

This email is to inform you that we are working on your request.

 

We note your request for an urgent reply by 19 September 2017. If we
cannot provide a response by that date, we will be in touch with you as
soon as possible, and certainly by 9 October 2017.

 

In the meantime, if you have any questions we will be happy to work with
you to resolve these. We can be contacted by email at
[email address].

 

Kind regards
