From 1 July 2025, the DVA Service Pension rates increased to help veterans manage rising living costs. Single veterans can receive up to $1,149 per fortnight, while couples receive $866.10 each per fortnight.
These maximum rates include the base pension, pension supplement, and energy supplement. The pension supplement helps cover costs such as utilities, phone, and internet. An energy supplement provides additional support for power bills, though eligibility depends on when you started receiving benefits.
Veterans who are permanently blind receive the maximum rate regardless of income or assets. Additional allowances may be available for individuals paying rent, living in remote areas, or caring for dependent children.
