More than two million age pensioners will receive increases in their pension payments from 20 September 2007 and an estimated 300,000 older Australians will be able to access the pension for the first time or get a higher rate of pension.
Minister for Families, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs, Mal Brough, yesterday announced that pensions would once again rise above inflation.
The Minister said the adjustments from 20 September also applied to people receiving the full range of Centrelink payments, such as Disability Support pension and Newstart payments.
