Civil Defence Payments

Civil Defence Payments are available for people who have been affected by the flooding. You don't have to be on a benefit to qualify for a Civil Defence Payment. In most cases it doesn't matter what your income is or what assets you have.

These can help with:

·        Emergency food, clothing and bedding if yours has been damaged or destroyed.

·        Accommodation costs if you have been evacuated and are staying in accommodation such as a motel, hotel or temporary rental accommodation.

·        Loss of income due to an inability to work caused by the flooding.

·        Payment if you have evacuees staying with you in places such as a private home, marae or community centres.

Call Work and Income on 0800 100 400 for more information.

Help with other costs

Depending on your situation, there are other ways that Work and Income may be able to help you and your family with things like medical costs, bedding, food, rent, power bills, repairs or replacing appliances.

You don’t need to be on a benefit to get help, it’s also available to people on a low income. However, you may have to pay the money back depending on your situation.
