Veterans' Pension (M75)
Scope of Appropriation
Provision of income support for ex-service people who served in a declared war or emergency and who have either reached the qualifying age for New Zealand Superannuation and are on a 70% (or greater) War Disablement Pension, or are prevented from undertaking employment for a substantial period due to disability and who fulfill the New Zealand citizenship and residency requirements as set out in the War Pensions Act 1954.
Reasons for Change in Appropriation
This appropriation will increase by $610,000 to $172.319 million in 2012/13. The increase to the appropriation to reduce the likelihood of an overspend more than offsets the underlying decrease in spending owing to fewer than expected recipients.
