29 APRIL NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE 1079

Clause 9 repeals the provision requiring individual rehabilitation programmes to be comprehensive. Clause 10 provides that social rehabilitation regulations may include payment for teacher aides, as well as for transport to school for children requiring special assistance.

Clauses 11 to 22 relate to the calculation of earnings, work assessments, the capping of compensation payments, the cessation of weekly compensation, allowing claimants and surviving spouses to receive both national superannuation and compensation for loss of earnings, weekly compensation payable to dependants, and payments for child care.

Clause 24 allows the Corporation to change a decision made in error without needing to proceed to a review hearing. Clause 26 allows the Corporation to decline to make any payment under the Act where a claimant does not comply with an individual rehabilitation programme. Clause 27 allows the Corporation to make payments in respect of a child to persons other than the person caring for the child on the proviso that the money will then be applied for the benefit of the child.

Clause 29 repeals section 104 of the principal Act which deals with experience rating of premiums, and replaces it with a more detailed regime. Clause 31 provides that the Corporation may derive some of its funds for payments in respect of non-work, non-motor vehicle injuries from the Crown.

Clause 33 permits the remission of penalties imposed on premiums where the Corporation considers it fair and reasonable to do so.

Clause 39 extends the “grandparenting” of compensation for attendant care, payable under the former Accident Compensation Acts from the present expiry date of 30 June 1993 for an indefinite period. Where the person also had an entitlement to compensation in respect of household help immediately before 1 July 1992, that entitlement is deemed to be an entitlement to compensation in respect of attendant care and is similarly extended.
