Disability pension for under-35s comes under Coalition scrutiny
Minister for social services, Kevin Andrews, may renege on promise not to make retrospective changes to DSP
Bridie Jabour
theguardian.com
Sunday 20 April 2014
Work is the preferred option to welfare, the minister for social welfare, Kevin Andrews, says.
People younger than 35 who are on the disability support pension (DSP) may be reassessed by an independent doctor, under a reform being considered by the Coalition government, and contrary to previous promises.
The minister for social services, Kevin Andrews, is considering an interim report on the welfare system, written by a welfare consultant, Patrick McClure, and says the government’s focus is to keep more people in work.
In December, the minister indicated that people under 40 might have their DSP reviewed. He now has made his most emphatic comments that the government is actively considering this.
“What we do know is that if people have been on the disability support pension for more than a few years, then they are likely to have deteriorated and it therefore becomes not a sensible thing to go back and try to test everybody,” he said.
“But what we want to ensure [is] if people who may be young for example, who may have just recently gone on to the pension, to check whether or not they need to stay on that pension, or whether or not, with some support, they could actually be in some work.”
Andrews has repeatedly promised that a review of the welfare networkwould not include retrospective changes for people on the DSP. Asked if he was considered reassesing such people, he replied: “People who need a safety net will have a safety net.”
The review into the welfare system was commissioned last year. It excluded the aged pension, the most costly benefit to the government, and focused on the DSP and Newstart.
Andrews is considering a two-tier system for the DSP, making a distinction between people who need to be on it permanently and those who may need it only temporarily.
It is understood Andrews has received the interim report and is considering making it public this week.
The minister said it would be a “waste of money” to reassess every person receiving a DSP because most of them would be eligible, but he said work was always a better outcome for those on the disability support pension, particularly those under 35.
“We believe in a genuine safety net for vulnerable Australians. If people are disabled and they need a disability pension, they will continue to get it. If people are out of work and need an unemployment benefit, they will continue to get it,” he said.
The president of People with Disability Australia, Craig Wallace, said he was concerned by the potential change to the DSP and that he was particularly disappointed it was being discussed by the minister on Easter weekend, when most people were on holiday. He said it was irresponsible, on a holiday weekend, to cause anxiety for people on the DSP that they might lose their payment.
Wallace said that, while he did not have access to the review, doing reassessments of young people could be considered a retrospective change.
“That would concern me and would be breach of that promise [not to make retrospective changes] but, again, we would like to see more detail,” he said.
He said he was not unequivocally opposed to people on the DSP being assessed. However, people with disabilities needed a broader jobs’ package, too, he said.
“The only people that are potentially going to get more money out of this are doctors. What we need is a jobs’ plan for people with disability, to get people into sustainable employment, starting off with the public sector. That’s now down to about 2.9% [of people with a disability] and has been continuing to fall since 1996. But we also need more work done to ensure people with disability have support,” he said.
“We need to ensure employment services are stepping up and that there are incentives for people with disabilities, like allowing people to keep DSP for a while after they move into employment.”
Wallace criticised the McClure review, saying there had been no public consultation or public submission process. He said McClure had held closed-door “soft consultations” a couple of months ago, with handpicked disability and welfare advocates, rather than throwing open the process.
“We haven’t seen the interim report for that review. It’s about time the government told us what the actual process is for that review,” he said.
Reassessments of some people could mean moving people from the DSP on to Newstart, which would mean a drop of $160 in their weekly income, Wallace said. “We need more carrot and less stick,” he said.
Disability pension attack

Thousands of disability pensioners would be examined by independent doctors to see whether they are still entitled to their pensions, under dramatic changes being considered by Social Services Minister Kevin Andrews. Mr Andrews, who is overhauling the $15 billion-a-year disability support pension – which he considers the most troublesome welfare entitlement – also said changes to the pension could begin as soon as the May budget.
"Potentially we could say, right, back to a certain point we'll just reassess people," Mr Andrews said. "The question then is how far back would you go in doing some reassessments of them?
"You could probably go back a couple of years," he said, "[but] if someone's been on the DSP for five or six years, the chances of them being assessed again as being capable of working is fairly remote."
Under Mr Andrews' mooted change, disability pensioners who were assessed by their family doctors – before Labor tightened the system in 2011 – would be re-examined by medical experts at the Department of Human Services.
The minister is also considering giving a fixed higher payment for the most disabled pensioners, with lower payments for people with less restrictive disabilities, who might be able to work part time.
The aim, he says, is to catch as many people as possible before they become entrenched on the disability pension.
Disability Discrimination Commissioner Graeme Innes said the Abbott government was "punishing some of the most vulnerable people in society" by tightening checks on the disability pension.
Regarding the minister’s idea to reassess recipients, Mr Innes said: "To effectively move the test back a few years, it just seems a cruel way of penalising people who’ve been in receipt of a benefit.
"Introducing a quarterly or six-monthly check is just adding more complexity both for the Centrelink system and for people with disabilities," he said.
But he praised Mr Andrews for "his understanding" that the government must intervene earlier and "incentivise" people with disabilities to help them stay in the workforce rather than become reliant on pensions.
Having spent several days in New Zealand last week, Mr Andrews said there were many features he would like to borrow from the neighbouring welfare system, which "invests" in people before they become entrenched on welfare.
He said one idea he took from New Zealand was that pensioners suffering "episodic" illnesses such as depression were given monthly or quarterly medical certificates rather than getting two-year "set and forget" pensions. This idea, he said, was particularly important given there were now more disability pensioners suffering from psychological conditions than suffering musculoskeletal problems.
Mr Andrews said he was concerned disability pension costs would blow out by many billions over the next decade. More than 830,000 Australians receive the pension now. Singles on the pension were paid as much as $766 a fortnight compared with $510 for singles on Newstart. The payment rate had been growing faster than Newstart, which he said provided a "perverse" incentive for people to qualify as disabled rather than unemployed.
Mr Andrews has told Patrick McClure – who is overseeing the Abbott government’s review of Australia’s welfare system – to "have a good look" at several New Zealand-inspired ideas.
Mr McClure has already given Mr Andrews his interim report, which will be made public shortly. His final recommendations are due in August.
The minister said he did not have specific goals for saving the budget a certain amount of money or getting a certain number of people off the disability pension.
"I don’t have a number and I don’t have a target," he said. "This is not about targets ... it’s about a better system that will actually help people because we think work is the best form of welfare."
Australian Council of Social Service chief executive Cassandra Goldie said she would support any measures by the government to "invest" in disability pensioners to help them return to the workforce.
But she was concerned that subjecting disability pensioners to more regular assessments could end up "exacerbating their mental health condition".
"We don’t have a welfare crisis in this area, we have a jobs crisis," Dr Goldie said. "We all want to work on decent reforms which will improve people’s pathways back to being well and getting paid work."
