Does it cost anything to apply for the Age Pension and how much might I receive?

A ClaimWise Team Answered by

There is generally no fee to apply for the Age Pension through Services Australia. The amount you may receive depends on factors such as your income, assets, relationship status, living arrangements and whether you qualify for supplements or Rent Assistance. Payment rates and thresholds can change, so an exact amount cannot be confirmed without assessing your circumstances. Check the current rates and eligibility rules on servicesaustralia.gov.au, or contact Services Australia for a personalised assessment.
