To: The Chief Executive of the Ministry of Social
Development.

Pursuant to section 5 of the Social Security Act 1964, the
Minister for Social Development and Employment makes
the following amendment to the Direction in relation to

Amendment

1. Title—(1) This amendment is the Direction in relation to
   Special Benefit Amendment (No. 3) 2005.

Benefit is called “the direction”.

2. Commencement—This amendment comes into effect
   on 1 July 2005.

3. Clause 3.2 revoked—Clause 3.2 of the direction is
   revoked.

4. Savings—Despite anything in clause 3, you should
   continue to pay a special benefit to an applicant who was
   receiving a special benefit in accordance with clause 3.2 of
   the direction immediately before 1 July 2005 as if that
   clause were still in effect, until you consider the fixing of a
   special benefit in accordance with that clause is no longer
   justified.\n
   Explanatory Note

This note is not part of the amendment, but is intended to
indicate its general effect.

This amendment revokes clause 3.2 of the direction in
relation to special benefit (which relates to additional
accommodation costs for certain beneficiaries who are
engaged in training away from their home) on 1 July 2005.
A savings provision continues special benefits for people
receiving them in accordance with this clause immediately
before that date.
