Going overseas temporarily
You may be able to continue to get these payments for up to 28 days while you're overseas.
You must continue to meet the criteria for the payment while you're overseas. This means your costs, e.g. accommodation or disability costs, must be continuing while you're overseas. If you don't continue to meet the criteria, your payment will stop when you leave New Zealand.
How to tell us
You can tell us online using MyMSD. You need to log in and select the 'Something has changed' option.
If you have a partner and they're travelling with you, they'll need to tell us using their own MyMSD.
You need to tell us the:
date you're leaving New Zealand
date you're expecting to arrive back in New Zealand
reason for the travel - you have to provide proof of this.
