The disadvantage of having a wife 20 years younger and with a well paid position. No pension or health care card for me despite having passed pension age almost ten years ago.

Happy Birthday Dave!!!

"tanks" here---David,
If you can't get the age pension, you may be able to get the Seniors Card.
This will/may get you the concessions that go with the Centrelink card.
Worth a try.

Happy birthday David.
Just to follow everyone else's advice, all motor vehicles are judged as "what will you get for it as a trade in" . Scary as it may seem, this is the only time in your life that you want to downgrade the value of your possessions. Good luck with the paperwork and ignoramouses at missing link,

As far as the seniors health care card .... I didn't realise that you can apply for it at 60 yrs old, so I missed out on the discounts for 5 yrs :twisted:

"tanks" here--T-1,

Not only discounts Terry, but the concessions on services etc amount to a lot of savings in the pocket.

I only discovered when I was 64 that I was able to get one. Which I duly did. The Qld gubment sent me another for my 65th birthday last year. Dont think Centrelink will be sending me anything.
Cheers
