    Is the net income before or after any eg Accomodation Supplement included?

    Beekay asked over 2 years ago

    Kia ora,

    Thank you for your question.

    You should include all household income for anyone over the age of 18 from wage/salary/benefits, including any Accommodation Supplement you currently receive. You do not have to include other special purpose payments (i.e. disability allowance, winter energy payment etc.).  

    Please note, If your rent changes, the Accommodation Supplement you receive from MSD may also change.

    Public consultation on the proposed policy will start again in June. You can provide your feedback via online survey at https://www.letstalk.wellington.govt.nz/rent-setting 

    Ngā mihi & best regards,
