DVA Permanent Impairment (Pl) compensation is not counted as income by Centrelink under social security legislation.
However, DVA Permanent Impairment (Pl) compensation may be included in an assessment of your assets, which can affect some Centrelink payments.
We recommend that you contact Centrelink on 1800 777 653 and ask for the Compensation Recovery Team who can tell you how DVA PI compensation may affect your Centrelink payments.
Family tax benefit and the level of child support you receive, or are required to pay, may also be affected by the receipt of Pl compensation.
Please contact Centrelink for advice on this.
