BCA Inform: Disability Support Pension and Age Pension (Blind)
Tuesday, 5th December at 7:30pm AEDT.
Building on the discussions held at BCA Connect on Policy in September, we invite you to participate in a session where Martin Stewart, BCA’s National Advocacy Officer, will delve into concerns surrounding the Disability Support Pensions (Blind) and the transition to its subsequent iteration the Age Pension (Blind).
This session aims to equip you with valuable insights, where you will be given the opportunity to pose questions and gain a comprehensive understanding of topics such as the recent income reporting issue and the intricacies of transitioning between pensions. Join us for an engaging exploration of these important issues.
