The sentencing for a Hawke's Bay mother who made more than $81,000 worth of ACC claims for children who were not in her custody has been adjourned.
Hastings woman Kellie Louisa Mary Hoy, 34, appeared in the Hastings District Court for sentencing today after pleading guilty to three representative charges of obtaining by deception, dishonestly using a document and using forged documents last month.
Hoy lodged a claim with ACC after injuring her knees playing roller derby on October 5, 2014, saying she was unable to complete home and community tasks, which included the fulltime care of her three children.
ACC accepted the claim and she started receiving two hours of Home and Community Support Services per week, which was raised to 61 hours per week during school holiday periods and 48.5 hours per week during school term in December that year.
Between January 2015 and March 2016 Hoy presented 14 weekly forms to ACC, signed by her and her carer to show the support services she had received.
