Note: The veteran does not need to be pension age [3] and the incapacity does not need to be related to their service.
The eligibility criteria for invalidity service pension were amended effective from 1 January 2000. Eligible veterans who were in payment immediately prior to this date retain their eligibility under the old criteria (85% permanent incapacity). This savings provision is provided for in the Veterans' Affairs Legislation (Permanent Incapacity – Transitional) Regulations 1999 No. 358 [8].
Although a person may meet the eligibility criteria for invalidity service pension, such a person will not be granted invalidity service pension unless they lodge a proper claim [3].

A war widow or war widower [3] who is also a veteran, may be paid invalidity service pension if they meet the eligibility criteria. However, the rate of that pension may be limited to a ceiling.
Invalidity service pension is not subject to income tax when paid to a pensioner who is under age pension age [3]. When an invalidity service pensioner reaches age pension age [3], the pension becomes taxable.
VVRS [3] assists invalidity service pensioners and other eligible veterans to find, or continue in, suitable paid employment. Whilst participating in VVRS, invalidity service pensioners receive the income protection benefits of the scheme and retain section 37 invalidity service pension eligibility.
