Why don't you ask your Instructor, or better still look in your study books.

If you use the technique of MDA/H, then you descent to it +50ft, and G/A no later than the MAPt if not visual.
If you descend to a DA/H, you G/A at that point, but no later than the MAPt.

From the THREAT AND ERROR consideration, levelling at MDA +50ft is regarded as more risky especially the heavier the ac.
DA/H technique is a safer and cleaner way to operate.
Non FAA rules....
