Code of ACC Claimants' Rights, and claims - Decisions on cover and entitlements

63: Corporation must tell claimant about review rights

You could also call this:

“ACC must tell you about your right to challenge their decisions”

The Accident Compensation Corporation (ACC) has to tell you about your right to ask for a review of any decisions they make about your claim. This includes decisions made under section 58. They must inform you about this right at a time that allows you to use it if you want to. This means they should tell you about your review rights soon after they make a decision, so you have enough time to think about it and ask for a review if you disagree with their decision.
