ACC has screwed me over

[Ixion]

????

Case workers have NO business providing ANY input into medical decisions. If a case manager tries to influence your medical treatment in ANY way complain BIG time. It's a big big big no-no, and they can (and have been) sacked for it.

If your still in pain WTF
Good luck with ACC been there done that, (and didnt really win, more like draw)

All govt organisations are accountable to a Minister of the crown. I think Ruth Dyson is the minister of ACC, you should be able to look it up on the internet and get her postal address. Send her a letter, her office will send an official letter to the RM or Area Manager of ACC, asking for information about your situation. And that’s all it’ll take.
One of the measures of success for all government departments is how many ‘ministerials’ they receive. They (we) always end up bending over backwards to sort things out rather than upset the Ministers office.

well first off you do have the right to appeal their decision .. its not final .. My sis out law used to work for acc many many moons ago .. my old man had to get hearing aid ... & he was turned down by acc... she said get in and appeal it will be picked up .. which it was .. & he got two hearing aids approx $4000 worth ..

also let ya doc knw whats going on .. good advise with conference call but do not take it lying down girl .. get what ya entitled too

Well.....I have just been transfered to the Long Term Claims Dept in Auck. Will either be better or worse. No one told me the file was being transfered until the letter from new case manager.

My Occ therapist has no info forwarded to her, I have to supply it.

My Occ assesment identified a number of jobs suitable.... Number 1...Managing Director!

What a load of crock....

Any one had any dealings with LTCU in Auck?

ACC main priority is to get you back into your old job, then the next closest that you are qualified for. If you want to get into computers with training make sure it gets high up in the list of jobs you are partially qualified for or at least are very interested in on your Occ assesment.

As explained to me...No training for any thing not on list of suitable jobs...then only as little as possible.

Just my 2 cents...good luck

Sounds like you need a more competant GP for a start. If ACC can avoid paying out, they will, which is typical of any Govt department. There is the process within ACC where you can challenge their decisions. I dunno about everyone else, but ACC are currently doing a great job looking after me. You do have to follow their way of doing things, otherwise you get jack shit...

Good advice, recently have been down the track battling ACC with and on behalf of a friend/workmate.......he got the royal flick from ACC (he was returning to employment from a series of back operations, reinjured himself, and got hung out to dry) There are official places to make complaints to, use them, and if justified you can be sure you will be heard, otherwise take it further up the ladder.........play by their rules, do what they need you to do...........it works both ways....good luck!
