There is an interesting “story” on DigitalNZ.  You have probably already seen.  I hadn’t realised people had to reapply every year.

Hi lnr

Following on from what mckh489 has suggested, if you type "old age pensions" into Archive New Zealand's search bar, you'll get 606 results -- giving various types of related records,  NZ locations and dates.   
You'll probably need to have an idea of where the person lived (area), and an approximate year of when they would have been making such an application.

Hi again lnr

Can you clarify please if you are only wanting a pension record, in order to find a birth date ??

Are you able to give us any other information on the person / birth date you are seeking  ??
It maybe that there is an easier route for locating such info that we can assist you with
