      Hi Cheryl
      The rejection letters from Centrelink are terribly cold and invariably lacking in details. It’s really important to call Centrelink when you receive a rejection notification to find out why they have made this decision. Perhaps you can still make this call to get greater clarification. This will make is easier for you to know what to expect if you decide to apply again.
      Good luck

    Hello
    I have 2 questions please.
    I am 71 on age pension this year. I receive $783. How can I find out how the deeming calculates please? I know it’s
    3.25o/o but I can’t work it out.
    I have 110,000 in superannuation and approx 60,000 in shares. Thank you.
    Q2. Re lodger. I know I can earn $152 working a fortnight.
    I thought having a lodger could be like work for me but of the $125 lodger pays, Centrelink takes $88 as income ( fair enough) but is this $88 taken off per week or 50o/o taken off as part of income earned. Income was recorded on last tax return. Sorry but I couldn’t get a clear answer by phone to Centrelink. Thank you. Pat.
