From: Samantha Thompson
Dear Accident Compensation Corporation,
I would like to request under the official information act
Regarding LOPE / CSA claims and needing Medical evidence in relation to a MICSA in historical claims.
1) What medical evidence are they actually expecting you to supply to ACC?
re someone getting medical help before the age of 18 years for ACC MICSA covered conditions.
i.e. the signs of PTSD; change in the way they display as child/teen/adult in its symptoms
Bed wetting, Dizzy spells, headaches, shakes/tremors, tummy aches, nightmares, to name a few
Given the age is of under 18 and ones maturity affecting their ability to explain to a DR their symptoms and being historic claims I am seeking information about, Doctors back in 1970's 1980's did not understand PTSD nor did they write much in their notes, in those days.
2) So please I was wanting to know what medical information are they actually wanting from people to prove you seeked medical help before 18 years of age for historical MICSA claims, Could you supply me the symptoms they accept noted by a medical professional as proof you did seek help for your covered conditions. ie PTSD
Thanks
Under s(16)2 of the official information act, my preferred way of receiving a response is by email to the address via email from which ACC received the request, not by post.
