Subject: Official Information Act request - Special Benefit recipient statistics

Dear Ministry of Social Development,

I would like to know how many people continue to receive the "special Benefit" that is no longer open to new beneficiaries, with annual numbers for each year from 2005.

Yours faithfully,
