Increase the Veteran survivor's pension amount from 50% to 70%.

What success looks like

Surviving spouses receive better support, and benefits are delivered in a more client-centred, streamlined fashion.

Government's narrative on progress

Eligible surviving spouses and orphans will receive enhanced financial security when they need it most, as part of the Pension for Life initiative announced in December 2017. From April 1, 2019, support for them will increase from 50 to 70 per cent of the Veteran’s post-age-65 Income Replacement Benefit (IRB) amount. This measure improves and simplifies the delivery of benefits.

Note: this is the government's own description, not an independent assessment.
