DFISA ceased 1 January 2022. This is for historical reference only.
The Defence Force Income Support Allowance (DFISA), DFISA-like payment and the DFISA bonus were payments made under Part VIIAB [2] VEA. As such they were recoverable under section 205 [3] VEA.
The social security income support payments that may have attracted DFISA are:
8.7.1.3 — Income support payments paid under a Commonwealth authority other than social security law that attracted DFISA-like payments were:
8.7.1.4 — All of the above primary payments are administered by Centrelink on behalf of other Commonwealth Government Departments. Both Centrelink and DVA administer age pension on behalf of Family and Community Services.
