REMINDER

Young people 16 years and older with a permanent disability are eligible to apply to receive the Disability Support Pension (DSP).

 

You can start your claim for the DSP up to 13 weeks before you turn 16!

This fortnightly financial support can assist your young person to participate in activities they may be interested in, take transport they may need to access activities, or accumulate in their bank account to support them to save for something they really want.
