Other income support payments - Disability Support Payment (DSP) Charlotte:
Charlotte applies for DSP, hoping it will grant from her 16th birthday. Charlotte's mother, Emma gets AIC Distance Education Allowance (DED) on 7 April for Term 2 (1 April - 30 June). Charlotte turns 16 years of age on 23 April. DSP grants from this date. Emma gets a debt for the AIC payment on behalf of Charlotte, for the period 23 April - 30 June.

Other income support payments - Department of Veterans' Affairs (DVA) Cameron's family apply for AIC. The application shows they also get a DVA payment for Cameron. A check via the Centrelink DVA Clearance Team shows the Veterans' Children Education Scheme (VCES) was granted for Cameron in the previous year. AIC is not payable for Cameron, as a precluding Australian Government education payment is received for the same period. Cameron's family decide they are better off on AIC rather than VCES, and cancel the VCES as of 1 May. A check via the DVA Clearance Team confirms this. The family can have the AIC claim reassessed and granted from 2 May (if they meet all other eligibility criteria). |
