We are not satisfied that the appellant’s failure to apply for assistance was a result of an erroneous action on the part of the Ministry. To the extent that Child Disability Allowance has been backdated to 25 May 2011, the appeal is allowed. In all other respects the appeal is dismissed.
The jurisdiction of this Authority is limited by s 12K of the Social Security Act 1964. This Authority can only consider decisions of the Chief Executive which have been confirmed or varied by a Benefits Review Committee. As a Benefits Review Committee has not considered the issue of Child Disability Allowance we are not able to consider the issue of whether or not Child Disability Allowance should be backdated. It is open to the appellant to specifically request that an out of time backdated review of the Child Disability Allowance be carried out. The appeal as it relates to the backdating of DPB – CSI is dismissed.
Decisions under s 80AA can be made only to the Chief Executive in person. In this case we understand that the Chief Executive has not considered this matter. As a result, the Authority does not have jurisdiction under s 12J of the Social Security Act 1964 to consider making a backdated payment under s 80AA. The Authority therefore directs that the Chief Executive consider this matter pursuant to the provisions of s 80AA of the Social Security Act 1964. The Chief Executive is to report to the Authority within three months of the date of this decision on the outcome of his consideration. The appeal is adjourned.
This appeal is adjourned to the June circuit of the Authority in Wellington.
