Centrelink Assistance
Quite often there is some careful planning required when people become eligible for government benefits, e.g., age pension, disability pension, etc.
Age differences between spouses is a particular area that can be exploited for maximum benefits.
For example, superannuation assets held by anyone underage pension age are not counted towards the income or asset test, when determining eligibility for these benefits.
So sometimes a transfer of some super between spouses can give a much higher entitlement.
We are able to deal directly with Centrelink on your behalf at no extra cost, and also construct your finances appropriately for the maximum allowable benefits.
