The table below shows the adult DSP rates. Because DSP for people 21 and over is paid at pension rates, the rates match the Age Pension: a single rate, and a lower rate each for members of a couple. The total is a basic rate plus the Pension Supplement and the Energy Supplement.
When a figure is labelled a total, it means those parts added together. People under 21 without children are paid youth rates instead, which are shown on the DSP under 21 page.
