Claim and claimant information that does not need to be saved and stored in EOS
MRM made this Official Information request to Accident Compensation Corporation
This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for MRM to read recent responses and update the status.
From: MRM
Dear Accident Compensation Corporation,
This is an Official Information Act request.
What claim and claimant information does not need to be, and therefore is not, saved and stored in Eos? Where is this information saved exactly? And how does a claimant request copies of this information?
Under s16(2) of the Official Information Act, my preferred way of receiving a response is by email to the address from which ACC received the original request, not by post.
Yours faithfully,
MRM

Dear MRM
On 2 January 2017 you asked ACC for information under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act). Your request was made via www.fyi.org.nz.
Section 12 of the Act provides that any person may make a request where they are:
a) a New Zealand citizen; or
b) a permanent resident of New Zealand; or
c) a person who is in New Zealand; or
d) a body corporate which is incorporated in New Zealand; or
e) a body corporate which is incorporated outside New Zealand but which has a place of business in New Zealand.
ACC requires more information to establish compliance with section 12. An original of any one of the following items is acceptable as a demonstration of your eligibility:
• A recent bill from the company who supplies your power, gas, water, phone or internet services
• Council rates notice
• A letter from the Electoral Office
• Travel itinerary
• Anything from a government agency that includes your name and address
• Unexpired Rental or Tenancy Agreement
Please respond within five working days from today’s date – no later than 12 January 2017. We recommend sending personal details to [email address] instead of replying via www.fyi.org.nz. This way, these details will not be made public online.
Once we have received this additional information from you, and we are satisfied that the requirements of section 12 have been met, we will acknowledge the request and begin to consider its decision under the Act. The 20 working days for making a decision on your request will begin from the day ACC receives confirmation of your postal address.
Yours sincerely
Government Services

Dear MRM
I refer to our email dated 5 January 2017 asking you to provide more information to establish compliance with section 12 of the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act) by 12 January 2017.
As of 13 January 2017, the requirements of section 12 have not been met. We are therefore unable to acknowledge your request under the Act and will not be providing you with a decision.
Yours sincerely
