Section 83 — Injury Prevention, Rehabilitation, and Compensation Act 2001: Date of entitlement to social rehabilitation

83 Date of entitlement to social rehabilitation (1) This section applies to the provision of social rehabilitation that the Corporation— (a) is liable to provide under section 81 ; or (b) has decided to provide under section 82 . (2) The Corporation must provide social rehabilitation on the later of the following: (a) the date on which the application for the social rehabilitation is made: (b) if the need for the social rehabilitation is assessed to arise after the date of the application, the date when it is assessed to arise. (3) However, if the Corporation considers that, in the claimant's circumstances, it would be unreasonable for the claimant to have made an earlier application, it may begin providing social rehabilitation on and from another date it considers reasonable to the claimant. (4) Subsection (3) does not entitle a claimant to entitlements that the claimant would not have been entitled to had the application been made earlier.
