WINZ Beneficiaries Seeking Work Licences

Have Questions?

RESPONSE TO GOVERNMENT ANNOUNCEMENT TO REFUSE WINZ ASSISTANCE TO BENEFICIARIES SEEKING A WORK LICENCE

In response to the Government’s announcement today that they will no longer allow WINZ to fund limited licences for beneficiaries except in exceptional circumstances, 0800 ok2drive barrister Melanie Coxon has announced a new Nationwide easy payment scheme for beneficiaries on her website www.lawyerhelp.co.nz.

In future any beneficiary refused WINZ assistance who has written confirmation of a job offer and a prospective employer who is prepared to undertake to deduct $50 per week from the employee’s wages over 14 weeks (98 days) to pay her legal bill then Ms Coxon will prepare a limited licence application for the individual at the very reasonable price of $599. If the police do not subsequently consent to the application or the Judge declines to grant a limited licence when the individual appears on their own behalf despite police consent, then no fee will be charged.

Ms Coxon said she believed it is in the public interest to ensure that those on a benefit be able to access affordable legal services and get a limited licence so that they can take up a job offer and get off the dole.

My temporary licence arrived in mail yesterday, now I can get on with my business.

Thanks very much for your good work and great help. As someone in a South Island provincial centre I was sceptical about how it would work getting my limited licence through an Auckland Barrister. Well, it couldn't have been easier, you guys were very on to it and your communication was first rate. I highly recommend you for anyone needing a limited licence.
