How to challenge a denial of ACC
If your claim for Accident Compensation has been denied, or if you're unhappy with an aspect of the decision granting your claim, you can apply for a formal review of the decision. ACC must tell you, at the appropriate time, about your right to have a review.
You must follow this review procedure, as you cannot use any other remedy in court or in the Disputes Tribunal. There is, however, a right of appeal to the courts after you have been through the review process. |

Injuries and conditions covered by ACC
Two-step test
In determining whether a particular injury is covered by ACC, a two-step test must be used. The two questions to ask are:
- Is there a personal injury as defined in the Act? (for information see “Personal injury” in this chapter); and
- Are the circumstances of the injury covered by the ACC scheme?
