The pension has been reduced! - Roscoe - 22-10-2023 I have just seen my bank statement and the pension, which was $1033 per fortnight has gone down by $41, That's a sizeable chunk of my grocery bill. I'm going to have to tighten my belt somewhat. I don't remember any of the political parties saying they were going to reduce the pension. Does the reduction affect anyone else? RE: The pension has been reduced! - Praktica - 22-10-2023 Are you sure it isn't the end of the winter energy payment? Mine hasn't changed. RE: The pension has been reduced! - Oh_hunnihunni - 22-10-2023 Or partial reduction on disability allowance to remove prescription charges? RE: The pension has been reduced! - Olive - 22-10-2023 The previous payment included a small extra for the last few days of the heating allowance. My payment received on Friday was back to the normal amount. I've looked it up for you: the standard net rate for a person living alone is $496.37, i.e. $992.74 per fortnight. So unless you are entitled to some kind of extra allowance you have received the correct amount. |
