Centrelink

Would you like to know how centrelink will assess you for age pension benefits, pension bonus scheme, family tax benefits, deeming, waiting periods and much more. We can work through the maze and advise how centrelink will affect your situation. An important change coming as at 20/09/07 is that the 50% asset test on complying pensions will be removed. In other words anyone who is eligible and puts money into a complying income stream prior to 20/09/07 will be entitled to a 50% exempt asset test for centrelink age pension. We can model whether you will be in a better financial postion by taking out a complying pension prior to 20/09/07. To be eligile you must be 55 prior to 20/09/07.
