The Chief Executive validly interpreted s 70(1): pensions paid from the UK National Insurance Fund are benefits 'granted' elsewhere for the purposes of s 70(1) and may be deducted from New Zealand superannuation; 'granted' means 'made available' and the National Insurance Fund operates as a state social security scheme rather than a purely private pension arrangement.
