- The Pensioner Education Supplement (PES) may be of assistance to some who are studying full-time or part-time. It is a non-taxable payment which does not have an income or asset test. To qualify, you must be receiving one of these payments from Centrelink: Parenting Payment (Single); Disability Support Pension; Carer Payment; Special Benefit (as a sole parent); Widow B Pension; Widow Allowance; or Wife Pension. Some who receive a payment from the Department of Veterans’ Affairs may also be able to get the supplement.
