Notes

These notes relate to the DVA Rates - January 1992 to December 1993:

 

Service Pensions (section 23(1)-'service pension') are the same rate as Age Pensions.

Notes

Explanation

A

These rates are indexed each March and September.

B

These rates are indexed each September.

C

EDA payment was introduced on 1 December 1988. It is payable to extremely disabled veterans who:

  • - are receiving 100% Disability Pension,
  • - have reached retiring age,
  • - are not receiving an Intermediate or Special Rate Pension, and satisfy medical criteria.

The EDA is payable at 50% of the general rate and is treated as income (section 8(1)-'income') for social security purposes.

D

From 1 November 1986, Social Security Pension (section 23(1)-'social security pension') is payable subject to a ceiling of $120.10 a fortnight to recipients of WWP.

E

These rates are indexed each January.

F

Domestic allowance is now absorbed into the basic pension, but still shown separately by DVA.
