What should I include on my Age Pension checklist before claiming?

A ClaimWise Team Answered by

Your Age Pension checklist should cover your age and residency details, partner information, income and assets, bank details, tax file number and proof of identity. You may also need documents about property, investments, superannuation, employment income and overseas residence or travel. Claims are generally made through myGov linked to Centrelink, although Services Australia may request further information. Check the current requirements at servicesaustralia.gov.au, as eligibility and payment rates depend on your circumstances.
