310F: Exemption from mandatory review

You could also call this:

"You don't have to do a mandatory review if your circumstances mean you don't need one."

Illustration for Social Security Act 2018

You do not have to do a mandatory review if the Ministry of Social Development is satisfied that your circumstances mean you should not have one. The Ministry of Social Development would normally have to do a review under section 310B(1), but they do not have to if they think it is not necessary. This could be because of circumstances like those mentioned in sections 326 to 330.
