Changes to the pension assets test: From 20 September 2007 the pension assets test will change. More people will become eligible for pension payments and many part-pensioners will have their payments increased. The changes explained On 20 September 2007: The pension taper rate will be halved from $3.00 to $1.50 for every $1000 of assets above the assets test free areas. This means the maximum amount of assets you can have and still get a pension will increase. If you are currently on a reduced rate pension because of the value of your assets you will get an automatic payment increase. Many people who were previously ineligible for a payment because of the value of their assets may become eligible for a pension. This will include some Commonwealth Seniors Health Card holders. The 50 per cent assets test exemption will be removed for complying income streams purchased from 20 September 2007. This means the value of some people’s assets will increase as calculated under the assets test. The assets test treatment of income streams purchased before 20 September 2007 will not change. Note: The income test for pension payments will not change.
