Age Pension
Is Australian Pension payable outside Australia ?

Re: Age Pension
Yes. I had been considering moving to the Philippines and researched all that. However since actually meeting a lot of Pinoys and Pinays I've changed my mind.
:rofl: Disability support pension is only payable for limited periods and you have to duck back to Australia now and again, I believe that's because your condition could improve and you might be required to get back into the workforce. However not the Age pension. Good Idea as I suppose it lessens your consumption of Aus public services like hospitals, the PBS etc etc. |

Hi Scot,
It is for me, but I was here for almost thirty years before retiring so I'm not sure if there are any 'residency based' restrictions. I do know that the pension is reduced if you are out of the country for more than a certain time, in my case it reduces by about $50 per fortnight after a couple of months or so. Calling Centrelink's aged persons line on 132300 should give you more accurate information, I've always found them most helpful. |

Eg if you leave oz before pension age. You must be a australian resident at the time of claiming. So you could pay in all your working life, move overseas and no pension. However if you lived here at age 67/68 and got the claim then you can take it in some circumstances. |

As for the arriving here at age 67/68 and being 'entitled' to Australian aged pension.....The best of luck with that mate :D |
Re: Age Pension
You must be in Australia at the time of your pension application. From memory I believe it could be two years prior to applying.
Disability rules changed in recent times and from six months allowed abroad I understand it is six weeks in most cases now. |

UK system is far better IMHO and would avoid the current Gen Y whining about all the taxes they have to pay to keep the despicable old farts alive. |
Re: Age Pension
I was in correspondence with someone who just assumed that the pension would be payable to someone moving from Aus to GB. I do not think it is so simple. There is no longer a reciprocal Social Security Agreement between the two countries.
