425: Regulations: disability allowance: special categories of eligibility

You could also call this:

“Rules about who can get extra money for disabilities”

If you are eligible for a disability allowance, you should know that the Governor-General can make special rules about who can get this allowance. These rules are called regulations, and they help explain section 85(1)(b) of the Social Security Act 2018.

When the Governor-General makes these regulations, they become a type of law called secondary legislation. This means they have to follow certain rules about how they are published and made available to the public.
