ACC is not invincible

[Sharry]

Great news Ed. You have surely had a good battle and deserve the outcome

Although the motocycle levies are a different story ad i dissagree with them I cannot compain about the help I recieved from ACC, with the home help, equiptment and income replacement. Now they accepted my claims for assessment for disablility and treatment injury.

Can't say as much about the DHB support after my ankle fusment 4 weeks ago, they may as well given me nothing at all.

My case has been with a Lawyer for nearly one month now ED, I was put into the 2 hard bin by acc as far as 3 lawyers have said so far hence my action with taking on a lawyer now to finally settle all this. I ONLY received $115 in the hand for nealy 4 years, hence the situation I found myself in 18 months or so ago and have been a tax payer here for years and years and lots of it due to the work I have always done and the hours of it.

I have been hearing some good stories lately about ACC, and I certainly can't complain now.

Sorry you're not getting the same from the DHB, though.

Does the fact that your accident was overseas have a bearing on it?

If the accident is in NZ anyone, including non residents, are eligible for ACC support.
If the accident is off shore then everyone, including nz residents, are not eligible for ACC support when they return to NZ.

I do not agree with this. I think it stinks that a non tax payer can get full support from ACC while here temporarily and a New Zealander who has paid ACC levies and taxes gets no support if the accident happened overseas.

None what so ever ED

Not correct Sharry, if injured overseas, nz citizens are entitled to acc support as we should be. A Kiwi gets no support through ACC "over seas" if injured, My Personell med insurance took care of all the cost over seas.

I hope your lawyer does a good job for you!

Base rate per week today is $430-00 and that is a huge difference to my pathetic $115-00

A Loss Attributing Qualifying Company (LAQC) is a company which, by New Zealand law, must pass on any losses to its shareholders. The shareholders can then offset these losses against their personal income.

Legislation passed in December 2010 made changes to the rules for qualifying companies (QCs) and loss attributing qualifying companies (LAQCs). LAQCs aren't able to attribute losses to shareholders for income years starting on or after 1 April 2011 and there are no new QC or LAQC elections. Existing LAQCs automatically become QCs (without the ability to attribute losses) at the start of the income year that begins on or after 1 April 2011. LAQCs also may elect either to remain a QC or can transition into a Look-through company (LTC) at no tax cost in certain circumstances or can also transition into another tax entity, such as a partnership, limited partnership or sole tradership with no tax cost[1]











Now some one with more educated brain power than me explain this to me, my company established in 2004 was NOT a ( LAQC ) company apparently, and as I had the company set up by an accountant, I would have thought that would have been automatically taken care of.

After 4 hours of reading my case history file today and very supportive advise from a man who knows the system, I DEFFINATELY reckon they owe me for 237 weeks INCOME not paid as it should have been! Which led to my bankruptcy and loss of family home and all my personel possesions to try and survive not to mention the mental stress this has put me and my family through whilst trying to recover from a clearly documented brain injury due to my TT crash as well as no referals to any specialist to have inserts made for my different leg length now of 11mm which I now believe is Long term cause behind the "massive" pain I have in my back.

I can see how they came to the decision though, but that decision came down to confusement and very very poor management by the person accessing my case .
