## What you need to check

You must get a full-rate pension. This can be the Age Pension, Carer Payment, Disability Support Pension, Parenting Payment or a veterans’ Service Pension. You cannot get it if you also get a part overseas pension. There are strict limits on extra income (about $10 a week each above the pension) and cash savings. A single person can have up to $1,750 in cash. A couple can have up to $2,750 together. It pays $56 a year in two parts, on 15 May and 15 September. One payment per home. Apply online or ask for a paper form on 1800 009 501. You do not need to apply again each year.

This is a short summary. Other rules may apply, like income or where you live. Check the full rules with the agency that runs it.

Struggling with this form?

OPA can go through the official form with you, one question at a time. You check each answer, and nothing is sent until you say yes.
