Increased support for Veterans
Feedback
The Government is increasing support for veterans. Commencing in July 2007, the per-fortnight payment of Special Rate Disability Pension will increase by $50 and the Intermediate Rate Pension by $25. This measure will provide Australia’s most disabled veterans with greater financial support.
The Government will also provide $57 million over the two years from 2006-07 to make one-off payments of $25,000 to Australians who were Prisoners of War in Europe, or their surviving widows.
