My bride has just arrived at pensionable age and Centrelink require her to report every 2 weeks. Anyone else in that situation?
Cheers

Sounds strange.
We have been part pensioners for almost a decade & never had to do that.
Only contact them when circumstances change or when I choose to update assets/income details.

This maybe because you or she is still working , If that is so her pension can be affected by your combined income

AH it may be that I get a pension from DVA as well. Crazy thing is that Centrelink pay that and know exactly when and how much.. We have stopped working, she and I will do some part time stuff come vineyard growing and vintage. Could be that as well.. Question answered, thanks guys.
Nothing like a great government system... NOT don't get me started on that...

Time to chnage to AV bigP. I wouldn't be surprised Centrelink check forums for people cheating he system and boast about it. If they see your AV they will think, ahha, bigP has heaps stashed away. Fortightly checks for anyone connected to him.

Thanks Doug, we get into the grass as well. Figure that if its good for the sheep and cows, must be something in it for us.. the odd roadkill (fresh of course) is a delight. lol

Ho Phil,
Choose your words very carefully. You use grass You Say. Stack's of gold coins with your face on them. boy oh boy, the government coffers need you mate.
Tined cat food you say as well.
That one comes under Luxury tax there.
Do you want some solid advice????
If I were you, I would drop down to dried dog food. It keeps for months.
We still going to retire. We started with nothing and still have most of it left.
Jim & Lambie
PS: Phil, Centrelink where did the name come from: ATO shares total information with ALL, ALL, ALL. Institutions. You and your better half are asked to make a declaration full stop.
If the SOMES =$$$ don't add up. You would be asked by letter to explain the( Gold Coins. ) Your fine, You both can have Baked beans on toast tonight. Don't worry Be Happy!

Phil Phil Phil,
You can't discuss ( FARTS on HERE) Frequently Asked Routing Tax Solutions.
Go and put the Black & Gold beans on before you get the rolling pin treatment form the other half.

Cheers for that tiger, because I didn't spend too long in a combat zone I am not entitled to the service pension. Between my wife's pension, my DVA pension and newstart (for the time being) we get top ups called DFISA each week.
So all is well at the Phil ville.

That's spot on Ontos, I love our home on wheels, and it is miles better than a little bed sitter with a gas ring and esky in the grubby cities.
