Dear Mr Chang

In your first question, you refer to Connect which is a Ministry of Social Development facility available only to students. However, the remainder of your inquiries appear to refer to recipients of Work and Income support. [Private information redacted]

Will you please advise whether your second and third listed inquiries are in regard to student support through StudyLink or Work and Income support, thank you.

The delay in requesting this clarification is regretted.

Yours sincerely
