To: The Director-General of Social Welfare.

I, Peter John Gresham, Minister of Social Welfare, hereby give you the following direction, pursuant to section 5 (2) of the Social Security Act 1964.

Amendments to Special Benefit Direction

I hereby direct that the Direction that I gave in relation to grants of special benefit dated the 28th day of March 1995 shall, after the date of this direction, be read as if the amendments specified in the Schedule to this Direction were incorporated within it.

Dated this 8th day of May 1995.

PETER J. GRESHAM, Minister of Social Welfare.

Schedule

Substitute:
"(a) The applicant’s actual accommodation costs including areas, provided that any arrears incurred while the person was in receipt of accommodation benefit, accommodation supplement, rent rebate allowance, or tenure protection allowance under the Act are not to be included; and"
Delete paragraph (c):
Substitute:
"(c) Disability related expenses, being expenses of a kind for which a disability allowance would be payable under section 69C of the Act (but not including any counselling costs in excess of the amount made available by way of disability allowance under the Act); and"
Schedule, column headings: | Delete "Standard Income":
Substitute "Standard Costs"
Schedule, clause 4 (c) | Delete "135.15"
Substitute "136.15".

Explanatory Note

This Direction amends the Direction given by the Minister dated 28 March 1995 relating to grants of special benefit under the Social Security Act 1964.

The amendments to the definition of Allowable costs correct two errors in the previous direction where any accommodation supplement, rent rebate allowance, tenure protection allowance, and disability allowance were counted twice in the assessment, as they are also included in the definition of Chargeable income by virtue of being benefits payable under Part I of the Act.

The amendments to the Schedule correct typographical errors.

The Direction of the Minister of Social Welfare relating to grants of special benefit of 28 March 1995 was published in New Zealand Gazette, 6 April 1995, No. 31, page 909.
