Member for Wide Bay Llew O’Brien has released his updated Age Pension Guide<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

October 24, 2023<\/strong><\/p>\n

Member for Wide Bay Llew O’Brien has released his updated 2023 Age Pension Guide, including payment rates, assets tests and conditions.<\/p>\n

\u201cPayment rates, rules, and other details for the Age Pension are updated twice a year, and some rules are quite complex so the Age Pension Guide is produced to ensure Wide Bay pensioners have access to up-to-date information that is clear and easy to understand,\u201d Mr O\u2019Brien said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe October 2023 Age Pension Guide contains information about the guidelines, payments and eligibility tests relating to the Age Pension, as well as commonly asked questions and useful contact telephone numbers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr O\u2019Brien said a range of factors could affect Age Pension payments, including the income and asset tests, deeming rates and other provisions.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese asset tests and other provisions are adjusted from time to time and can change the amount of assistance that pensioners are entitled to receive, so it is important that people have access to the latest information about the support that is available,\u201d he said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe guide also provides helpful information about the Pension Bonus and Work Bonus Schemes, the Carer Payment and Allowance, and health and concession cards that are available to pensioners.\u201d<\/p>\n

The guide can be ordered by telephoning (07) 4121-2936, or downloaded through the Helpful Guides section of Mr O\u2019Brien\u2019s website<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
