If you get home-based disability support, this law applies to assets you can use personally. You have assets that you can use, but you have not sold them or used the money from them, and neither has your spouse or partner. The Ministry of Social Development, or MSD, can count these assets as cash when they work out your support.
MSD can do this because they are satisfied you have not used these assets. This means MSD treats the assets like money when deciding on your home-based disability support. You can find more information about this by looking at the law from 1964.
