285: Effect of cancellation of young parent payment on disability allowance or child disability allowance

You could also call this:

“You can still get disability money if your young parent payment stops”

If your young parent payment is cancelled, you can still get a disability allowance or child disability allowance. Even though your young parent payment stops, the law treats you as if you’re still getting it. This means you can keep getting money to help with disabilities for you or your child. The law does this to make sure you don’t lose this important support when your young parent payment ends.

  1. Despite the cancellation under section 281(2) of the young parent payment payable to a young person (P), P must be treated as continuing to receive a young parent payment for the purposes of section 85(1)(a) and (2)(c)(i) and the cancellation has no effect on P’s entitlement to receive any disability allowance or child disability allowance.
