how much is the disability pension per fortnight

For January 2026 in Australia, the Disability Support Pension (DSP) maximum standard rates per fortnight are roughly:

• Single, 21 or over: about $1,150 per fortnight including standard supplements (pension supplement + energy supplement).

• Partnered, 21 or over (each): about $870 per fortnight including supplements.

• Couple combined: around $1,740 per fortnight in total.

Actual amounts depend on:

• Income and assets (your pension may be reduced after the “income free area” and asset thresholds are applied).

• Whether you are single or partnered, and your age (under‑21 rates are lower and vary by whether you are dependent or independent).

• Supplements you qualify for (pension supplement, energy supplement, and possible rent assistance).

If you’re on a forum asking “how much is the disability pension per fortnight,” many people will quote around the $1.1k single / high‑$800s partnered figures, but then stress that Centrelink’s income and assets tests can pull that down depending on what you earn or own.
