Review date
A New Zealand benefit or pension should be reviewed from the date a client is granted a Jersey/Guernsey pension, or when the rate of a Jersey/Guernsey pension changes.
If you have difficulty obtaining details of the overseas pension granted contact International Services for advice.
If you have a case where you feel an overpayment should be established you should contact International Services.
When a Jersey/Guernsey pension is reduced, the New Zealand benefit or pension should be reviewed from the date of the reduction.
