Minister for Veterans’ Affairs Darren Chester said this Government is working hard to put veterans’ and their families first.
“Our Government provides more than $11.2 billion each year to deliver essential services and programs to support 290,000 veterans and their families,” Mr Chester said.
“The new pension rates will be fully effective from pension payday, October 11, 2018 for pension recipients including veterans, their partners, war widows and widowers across Australia.”
Due to the calculation of pension rates on a daily basis, the first pension paid after the indexation on payday 27 September 2018 will comprise a component of both the old and new rates.
