Reading File
Running Command
I now have all the details I need. Let me draft the application email.
I need one quick clarification before I finalize - do you know the name of the specific person or department at ACC (or your employer/health care system) that you're sending this to? Also, did ACC cancel your sick leave / weekly compensation, or did your employer cancel your sick leave entitlement?
Actually, I have enough context to draft a strong appeal letter now. Let me write it up.
Subject: Appeal Against Cancellation of Sick Leave / ACC Weekly Compensation - Claim No. VJ80841 - Kairav Bhatt
To Whom It May Concern, ACC / [Your Healthcare/Employer Name] Hamilton, New Zealand
Re: Appeal Against Cancellation of Sick Leave / Weekly Compensation Patient: Kairav Bhatt | DOB: 24/06/1990 | NHI: XEV9611 | ACC Claim No: VJ80841
Dear ACC Review Team,
I am writing to formally appeal the cancellation of my sick leave / weekly compensation entitlement in connection with my ACC claim No. VJ80841, arising from a Fall on Outstretched Hand (FOOSH) injury sustained on 04 November 2025 to my left wrist while running.
Background and Clarification of the 2024 X-ray Report
I understand that a prior X-ray report (2024) showing normal wrist alignment - specifically, normal alignment of the distal radius, ulna and carpal bones, with no fracture or displacement visible at that time - may have been considered as evidence that my wrist was uninjured. I wish to clarify that this 2024 imaging pre-dates my injury entirely. The absence of fracture or displacement in that earlier scan simply reflects my pre-injury baseline, and is in no way contradictory to the injuries subsequently confirmed in 2025/2026 investigations. The 2024 report did note a corticated ossicle at the ulna styloid and recommended a repeat X-ray in 10-14 days post injury if there was clinical concern for scaphoid injury - confirming that a subtle injury at that anatomical site was already considered a possibility even then.
Confirmed Injury from the 2025 FOOSH Event
Following my FOOSH injury of 04/11/2025, I have undergone thorough clinical assessment and advanced imaging which have confirmed the following objective findings:
  1. MRI Left Wrist - River Radiology, 08/05/2026 (Ref: 26/H/0006605, Dr Peter Gendall):
    • Ununited fracture at the base of the ulnar styloid process
    • Short proximal tear of the dorsal band of the scapholunate ligament with a tiny dorsal ganglion
    • Minor dorsal tear of the membranous portion of the scapholunate ligament
    • No TFCC injury; distal radioulnar ligaments intact
  2. GP / Specialist Assessment - Dr Sherika Samarasinghe, Sports and Exercise Physician Registrar, 19/05/2026:
    • Significant tenderness over the ulnar styloid process corresponding to the ununited fracture site
    • Mild restriction of pronation and supination secondary to DRUJ discomfort
    • Persistent nocturnal ulnar-sided wrist swelling and variable pain, aggravated by activity and awkward wrist positions
    • Currently undergoing physiotherapy with JP Bourque, Access Community Hamilton
    • Prescribed Celecoxib 200mg twice daily; wrist brace use recommended; heavy lifting and forceful wrist loading restricted for at least 3 weeks
    • Further treatment options under consideration include ultrasound-guided corticosteroid injection, PRP injection, or surgical excision of the fractured fragment if conservative management fails
Impact on My Capacity to Work
My injury directly limits my ability to perform day-to-day activities involving the left wrist. I am right-hand dominant but rely on my left hand regularly for normal work and daily tasks. The combination of an ununited fracture, ligament tears, and ongoing pain significantly impairs my functional capacity, and I remain under active medical management with restrictions on loading and activity.
Request
I respectfully request that my sick leave / weekly compensation entitlement be reinstated with effect from the date of cancellation, in light of the clear objective medical evidence confirming a genuine and ongoing injury directly linked to the FOOSH event of 04/11/2025. I am happy to provide any further documentation, attend any requested medical examination, or provide supplementary information to support this appeal.
Attached to this correspondence are:
  • MRI Left Wrist report, River Radiology, dated 08/05/2026 (Ref: 26/H/0006605)
  • GP Specialist Followup Letter, Dr Sherika Samarasinghe, dated 19/05/2026
  • 2024 X-ray report (for reference, confirming this pre-dates the injury)
I appreciate your time in reviewing this matter and look forward to your response.
Yours sincerely,
Kairav Bhatt DOB: 24/06/1990 NHI: XEV9611 ACC Claim No: VJ80841 Address: 9B Caistor Street, Fairview Downs, Hamilton 3214, New Zealand Phone: 022 381 8288 Email: bhattkairav05@gmail.com
A few quick notes for you:
  1. Where to send it: Address it to ACC's Review & Complaints team. You can submit via acc.co.nz/making-a-claim/resolving-issues or post to ACC, Private Bag 4715, Christchurch 8140. If your employer (not ACC) cancelled sick leave, address it to your HR/people manager instead and I can adjust the letter.
  2. Attach all three documents (the two PDFs + the 2024 X-ray image) when you send this.
  3. Deadlines: ACC appeals under the Accident Compensation Act 2001 must generally be lodged within 2 months of the decision you are disputing. If you are close to that deadline, mention the urgency.
  4. Subject line for email: Appeal - Sick Leave/Weekly Compensation Cancellation - Claim VJ80841 - Kairav Bhatt
