414: How to apply, and procedure and powers, for appeal to board

You could also call this:

“Rules for appealing a decision to a special group”

The rules for appealing to a board are set out in regulations. These regulations explain how you can apply for an appeal and what happens during the appeal process. They also describe what the board can do with the decision you’re appealing. For example, the board might agree with the decision, change it, cancel it, or ask MSD (Ministry of Social Development) to look at it again. The regulations also cover other related matters. You can find these regulations in section 451 of the Social Security Act 2018.
