- Moving to a different superannuation fund
  
  By Marisawright · Posted 2 hours ago
  
  She's committing fraud, in that case. If she's not living in the house, then it is not her primary residence under Centrelink rules. The reality is that Centrelink is never likely to find out (assuming she's using the house address when corresponding with them), but it's still fraud.

  If not in a rush as Marissa said seven seasons ago will send boxes. They combine orders then ship in crates. Worth getting a quote.
- Moving to a different superannuation fund
  
  By InnerVoice · Posted 3 hours ago
  
  Yes, your primary residence isn't deemed but the assets test cut-off point is considerably lower if you are at homeowner than a non-homeowner. I've found people get very creative with assets when they are close to the cut-off point. A friend of mine has just started receiving the Aged pension. She owns a very nice house in Wynnum which her daughter and family live in but could never afford to buy, so instead they bought an apartment in the city which she lives in (and is very happy there), and they live in the house and pay the bills on both properties. It's a perfect arrangement, as all the bills and insurances stay in the property owners' names. Just before her 67th birthday she bought five years' worth of holidays at the Flight Centre, including a cruise to Antarctica. As they say, there's more than one way to skin a cat!
