The Government has made changes to the Pension Assets test, which are due to come into effect in January 2017. The changes involve an increase to the assets test limit to qualify for a full Age Pension. For some people this may mean a higher entitlement to the age pension and for others a reduction in their entitlement. Some people may lose their Age Pension altogether.
