If you made a claim for cover because you were injured between 1 July 1992 and 30 June 1999, and you sent this claim to ACC before 1 July 1999, but they didn't make a decision about it before 1 April 2002, here's what you need to know:

You will only get cover under the current law if you would have been covered under the old law from 1992. This old law was called the Accident Rehabilitation and Compensation Insurance Act 1992.

So, even though your claim is being looked at under the new law, the rules from the 1992 law will decide if you can get cover or not. This is to make sure that claims from that time are treated fairly, based on the rules that were in place when you were injured.
