Pensioner Education Supplement

The Pensioner Education Supplement (PES) is a financial support provided by the government to eligible pensioners. It helps cover the costs associated with undertaking approved education or training courses, such as fees, textbooks, and materials. The aim is to assist pensioners in gaining new skills or qualifications, promoting ongoing learning and personal development. Eligibility is generally based on receiving certain pension payments and enrolling in recognized courses. The supplement is paid as an additional financial benefit to help ease the costs of education while pensioners continue to receive their pension income.
