[QUOTE="Hawkear, post: 654975, member: 4728"] Yeah, some years ago when I turned 65, I also tried for a part pension, even one dollar, as that would have given entitlement to a health concession card. The sum of all the concessions and discounts that the card entitles the holder means that a person just above the pension threshold can be worse off than someone just under by some thousands of dollars. My income for that year was just $400 over the limit. I was disappointed to think that I was to be stuck in that no man’s land just above the pension entitlement limit. In a way it was also good, as it freed me from the feeling that many aged pensioners have to suffer in keeping their reported income and assets below the pension limit and all that other reporting bullshit.
