I am 70yrs old and self supporting money in bank which gives me a healthy return and superannuation which returns about 4 times the pension and live alone however my partner lives in her home alone we only share accommodation when holidaying will be retiring next may with approx $30,000 in bank and super worth $210,000 we have been together for 20 years and have never lived together have explained to her my financial situation has nothing to do with her qualifying for pension as my funds are mine and don’t need to be mentioned in her pension application ( she has never known what i have ) she does not want to jeopardize her pension status just in case my comment was we can break up 4 weeks before and then you will qualify have explained center-link will advise her what steps she needs to take
