Income support pensioners
Where a service pensioner or ISS recipient in aged care advises DVA of a change to their income and assets, their pension assessment will be updated.
Because any change to the amount of income held in their pension assessment ( together with a date of effect) will automatically be passed on to DH&FS, there is no need for any additional action to ensure that their aged care fees are revised in accordance with the new income figure.
