Disability pension bereavement payment [3] primarily provides financial assistance to the partner of a deceased veteran who was on a disability pension [3]. It is designed to assist the widow/widower to gradually adjust his or her financial situation, and to assist meeting costs associated with the bereavement.
Disability pension bereavement payments can also provide support for the families of single Australian veterans previously in receipt of Special Rate [3] or Extreme Disablement Adjustment (EDA) [3] rate and assist with funeral expenses where the deceased dies in indigent circumstances.
The rate of disability pension payable must take into account any compensation offsetting the person was subject to and must include the specific disability allowance [3] if the person was receiving it.

Disability pension bereavement payment is normally paid as a lump sum to the deceased veteran's partner [9] or the deceased veteran's estate. However, if the partner of the veteran dies before the payment is made, alternative payment arrangements will apply.
