Where can I find a clear Disability Support Pension guide and what eligibility rules should I know?

A ClaimWise Team Answered by

The Disability Support Pension (DSP) is generally for people aged 16 or over who have a permanent physical, intellectual or psychiatric condition that significantly affects their ability to work. Services Australia assesses both medical evidence and non-medical requirements, including residency, income and assets, with eligibility depending on your individual circumstances. You may need reports from treating health professionals and could be asked to attend an assessment before a decision is made. Check the current rules and claim process at servicesaustralia.gov.au or speak with a financial counsellor or support service for guidance.
