Changes to pension

Can you please clarify if the changes to the pension after Jan 1st, 2015 relates to your pension taken from your SMSF, or from the Commonwealth Government.

My husband and I are both under 65 years of age.

Thanks.

A: The changes only affect the assessment of income in regard to eligibility for a Commonwealth pension, or a Commonwealth Seniors Health Card.


As you both under pension age, they won’t impact you in the short term.


However, for your information, I have attached the links to the 2 articles here and here.
