Deferring or discontinuing study before end of course for Pensioner Education Supplement (PES) 102-07020060

Any change in a student's circumstances that affects their qualification for payment is a notifiable event.

PES students who are undertaking study or training must notify Services Australia within the 14 day notification period if any of the following events occur, or are likely to occur:

• starting or discontinuing a full-time course of study
• not enrolling in a course as a continuing student by the end of the enrolment period
• not beginning in the course on the first day it is offered, or
• changing enrolment in the course

PES students should notify a change to their course end date or other study details by updating their details online via the Manage Study Details service.

Customers with a Centrelink online account can view their personal information including study details through the 'My Profile' menu option in the Express Plus applications.

PES students who stop studying full-time can continue to receive their student payment if they may qualify for an approved concessional study load.
