scouseroo Posted April 11, 2017 Posted April 11, 2017 Quick question. I lived in Australian for 25 years , i have dual nationality .Due to family matters i returned to the UK 12 years ago , i am 64 and know i can't claim the age pension till i am 65.5. Can apply from the UK? Do i have to reside in Australia to qualify?
Guest Posted April 11, 2017 Posted April 11, 2017 I've moved this from where you had posted it in CTF.
starlight7 Posted April 11, 2017 Posted April 11, 2017 Can you apply for an Australian pension if you no longer live there? It is means tested not like the UK pension. Just curious.
Toots Posted April 11, 2017 Posted April 11, 2017 As far as I know, yes you do have to reside in Australia to qualify for the Aussie pension.
amibovered Posted April 11, 2017 Posted April 11, 2017 Quote To be eligible for Age Pension you must satisfy residence requirements. On the day you submit your claim, you must be: an Australian resident, and physically present in Australia https://www.humanservices.gov.au/customer/services/centrelink/age-pension
Skani Posted April 11, 2017 Posted April 11, 2017 Quote To be eligible for Age Pension you must satisfy residence requirements. On the day you submit your claim, you must be: an Australian resident, and physically present in Australia You also need to have been an Australian resident for a continuous period of at least 10 years, or for a number of periods that total more than 10 years with one of the periods being at least 5 years, unless you: are a refugee or former refugee were getting Partner Allowance, Widow Allowance or Widow B Pension immediately before turning age pension age, or are a woman whose partner died while you were both Australian residents, and you have been an Australian resident for 2 years immediately before claiming Age Pension From Age Pension - Eligibility Basics: https://www.humanservices.gov.au/customer/services/centrelink/age-pension
