Google search:- dsp and tafe courses. This will show that the different states have differing rules for people on DSP undertaking Tafe study with them. The rules according to the legislation and how they may affect you can be found in the link. Cheers 🐻 guides.dss.gov.au/social-security-guide/3/6/1/40 |

Bunyip it's a good thing to tell them because I think you will get PES once you start your course. (Pensioner Education Supplement) An extra $62.40 a fortnight.
Cheers

And your concession card can result in discounted fees and I think I got a lump sum for text books etc for a course I took. You can keep claiming it as long as the next course is higher then one you have previously studied, so it's a great way to skill up and meet new people too.
