Accident Compensation Act 2001

Transitional provisions relating to entitlements provided by Corporation (but not under Part 10) - Weekly compensation

369: Cessation of weekly compensation under any former Act because of capacity for work

You could also call this:

"Stopping old payment plans when you can work again"

If you're getting weekly compensation under an old law, sections 100 to 113 of the new law now apply to you. This means the rules about stopping your compensation because you can work again have changed.

If someone started checking if you could work before the new law came in, they can finish checking under the old law. When they're done, it will count as if they checked under the new law.
