Are you looking to get your Age Pension quicker and without the headache of having to go backwards and forwards with Centrelink? Retirement Essentials offers an Age Pension Application service that is simple to use and supported by specialists who are available to help you every step of the way.
Get your Pension sooner
Currently our members are getting their Age Pensions approved on average in less than 7 weeks which we understand is significantly quicker than Centrelink’s current approval times. Our rigorous process ensures members are prepared with all the documentation required to support their Age Pension application. When a Centrelink Assessor picks up our member’s application they have all the documentation they need to make their decision.
With support from Age Pension specialists located in Australia
We appreciate that our members have better things to do than wait on hold for help. If one of our Age Pension Specialists isn’t available within 2 minutes our members are offered the option of a call back when it’s convenient for them. And we always call back, which seems to surprise (and delight) a lot of members!
Also, not everyone wants to stop what they are doing to make a phone call. Our webchat facility offers members the option to ask a question, get their answer quickly and continue with their application whilst online. We have developed some great relationships with our members over webchat.
30,000+ people have used our services
Since launching our Age Pension service in March this year, we have helped more than 30,000 people understand their Age Pension entitlements. We have received some great feedback but don’t just take our word for it, here is what Doug and Cathy from North Manly recently said about our service:
But don’t take our word for it, here’s what our customers have to say:
“After a couple of attempts at the Age Pension application forms ourselves, we took the opportunity to use the services of Retirement Essentials after seeing them on the NSW Seniors website.
As a result, the dreaded visit to the Centrelink Office with the completed form and additional documentation fully in hand was much less daunting.
Without doubt the services provided by Retirement Essentials provided a confidence in our application that brought a great deal of sense of mind.”
How much do you charge for your service.
Hi Marilyn
Our service costs $330 which is broken into two equal instalments of $165. The first payment is due when you complete our online application (much easier than applying through myGov) and the final payment is when Centrelink approves your application. Our fees come with a money back guarantee ie. if your Pension isn’t approved then we will refund your money.
I have used your Age Pension Eligibility Report to assess my future situation by applying for the pension the maximum 13 weeks (Approx) in advance of my actual qualifying age. The Report seems to infer that I would receive the age pension from the date that I apply, rather than when I actually qualify. Could that be possible, or am I misreading the Report?
Hi Ian
Our personalised Age Pension report notes the pension you will be entitled to only when you turn Age Pension age. The report also notes the date you can lodge your application with Centrelink which is 13 weeks ahead of turning AP age.
I was born in August 1955. When am I able to apply for the pension?
Hi Peter, Assuming you are born on the 31st of August you will be eligible to apply for the Age Pension on the 30th November 2021. However, if you were born earlier in August, you will be eligible to apply earlier in November 2021. Please feel free to test out our calculator or don’t hesitate to contact us 1300 527 727.
