Yeah, $2.66 today. But I'm sure this is only an adjustment. Tomorrow I'll look at Centrelink website and log on to see what the amount will be next fortnight...

 Gday...

If you receive a "payment" from Centrelink I assume you would have received this letter recently.

This is what I received.

Cheers - John

The increase started from Sept.20th., so you only got it for the relevant no. of days this time.  Next Pension you should get the full increase amount.

Cheers,

Sheba.

 Thanks John,

Yes, I do receive a payment from centrelink but didn't get a letter.
I guess because I have no income from any source. Seems it only applied to self-funded etc.

They make it hard on the self funded don't they?

Thanks for taking the time to explain things to me.

Cheers

Jim
