Services Australia assesses your income and assets, along with your age, residency and relationship status, when deciding whether you qualify for the Age Pension. Your assessable income and assets can affect both eligibility and the payment rate, and different rules may apply to your home, superannuation and financial investments. The income and assets tests are applied separately, with the test that produces the lower rate generally used. Check the current thresholds and assessment rules at servicesaustralia.gov.au or contact Services Australia for an assessment based on your circumstances.
