Services Australia released operational guidance documents for Disability Support Pension (DSP) manifest eligibility assessment and impairment tables, effective February and November 2024. The manifest eligibility procedure outlines how DSP claims can be granted when customers meet specific medical criteria without full assessment—including permanent blindness, terminal illness (life expectancy under 2 years), intellectual disability (Full Scale IQ below 70), nursing home-level care needs, Category 4 HIV/AIDS, or Department of Veterans' Affairs Special Rate (TPI) payments. Claims must be supported by health professional recommendations via Medical Assessment, Job Capacity Assessment, Disability Medical Assessment, or the Health Professional Advisory Unit. The documents establish decision-making frameworks and reference lists of conditions indicating possible manifest eligibility, with safeguards requiring clear medical documentation and professional endorsement for all DSP grants.
