309: Termination of winter energy payment

You could also call this:

“When the winter energy payment can be stopped”

You should know that after a review, MSD (which stands for Ministry of Social Development) can stop your winter energy payment. They can do this using section 75 of the law. This means that if MSD looks at your situation and decides you shouldn’t get the payment anymore, they can end it.
