Most people are aware of the requirement to notify Centrelink if you have a change in circumstances that may affect your Age Pension entitlements. But what happens if you’ve notified them and nothing has changed?
If you have an uneasy feeling you are being paid too much pension and could be forced to repay it – read on.
Note
Where this article refers to ‘the pension’, the author has the Age Pension and all Centrelink pensions in mind. While the rules are the same for the Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) pension – such as the requirement to notify changes to your circumstances within 14 days and to report suspected overpayments – the internal processes may be different at the DVA. If you have any concerns about the amount of DVA pension you are being paid, contact the department.
