NZ Superannuation and Canada Pension Plan
Robert Latimer made this Official Information request to Minister for Social Development
The request was successful.
From: Robert Latimer
Dear Minister of Social Development,
In June 2010 Minister Finley, the Canadian Minister of Employment and Social Development Canada, wrote to Minister Bennett, the New Zealand Minister of Social Development, on the subject of New Zealand's deduction of Canada Pension Plan benefits from New Zealand Superannuation benefits.
My New Zealand Superannuation benefit is being reduced by the amount of my Canada Pension Plan benefit.
Please provide me with copies of Minister Finley's letter and Minister Bennett's reply.
Yours faithfully,
Robert Latimer

Dear Fau Logo,
How did you send me the response on 17 March?
I have tried both opening and downloading the attachment "Latimer Robert Final Response dated 17.3.14.pdf" but Adobe tells me the file is corrupt.
