343: Review and appeal of specified determinations made by MSD under regulations

You could also call this:

“You can ask MSD to look again at some decisions they make about you, but only in a specific way”

If the Ministry of Social Development (MSD) makes a decision about you under certain rules, you have some options. You can ask for a review of this decision under a specific part of the law. However, you can’t use a different part of the law to review or appeal against this decision. This means you have a way to challenge the decision, but it’s limited to one particular process.
