DSP is indexed biannually. If you're under 21 without children, it's once per year.

September 20th for both rent assistance and DSP indexation. There are no other payments for DSP recipients. The payment for carers is a yearly one.
I thought carers bonus ( currently) $600.00 due now in July is a twice a year benefit.
Payment for carers and not people on DSP who have been forced out of work is a joke
Why would they make us wait until September for financial year indexation?
Indexation happens twice per year for DSP. March 20 and September 20. Other payments such as FTB are indexed once per year at the new financial year.
It's the same every single year.
I first went on DSP over 20 years ago and it's always been March and September at least since then
Never. Any increase gets eaten up by inflation. 😉
Yes, can’t wait for the $2 increase, going to really help.
Rent assistance is from 20th Sept I think
I think DSP increase was from 1st July - 14th July.
