    You need to contact the operating airline - in this case MH. They should be able to search using your name DOB. While on the phone with them ask them for the MH PNR.

    I'm not sure why do you think she has to sell the house?. Selling the house while she can still live in it will actually worsen her financial position brcause instead of the house being exempt from calculating the pension, the proceeds from selling the house will not be exempt from...

    Depends on you level of independence and the NH. It may be more appropriate to live in own home and get aged care packages to provide things like cleaners etc. UberEats is the ultimate meals on wheels Alternatively some people take their $$$ and move to somewhere OS where there is greater...

    How does that work if someone needs 24/7 care or even assistance with daily activities - showering, dressing etc. . Presumably cruising only works if a person is independent with their daily activities

    The problem I think is that the cost of providing the services for many facilities is less than the income generated. As of November 2025, the facility can retain 2% per year of the RAD for up to 5 years so only 90% is refundable. Changes to NH fee structure only affect new entrants. Also...

    In aged care, people get 63 days per year respite which is free Same here. Accounts kept popping up like whack a mole I don't know about DVA but for those self funding, the initial payments can appear to be high. Especially when they have to pay the means test fee . The means test fee is...

    Sounded to me (initially) as a dramatic start to a novel👍 In fairness to you, I don't think a lot of people have planned for this either. Effectively and rough round numbers to be self funding in Australia for a nursing home placement can require $1M in savings. So a lot of people if they ever...

    So: Battery $8200 Warranty 10 years Warranted kWh in that 10 year period 3120kWh per installed kWh. Tot = 62400kWh. Meaning you can take 62400kWh out of the battery during that 10 years Let's assume you use all of that 62400kWh in the 10 years. If you use all of that in less than 10 years it...

    Services Australia looks at all the assets. Why did she lose her pension? Income from $100k cash based on deeming rates will not cause loss of pension.

    Further, while the marital home is exempt for the purposes of nursing home contributions if a protected person continues to live in it (eg spouse), the moment the spouse does not live in it or the house is sold/transferred (eg into a trust or ownership by another person or entity), it is my...

    Services Australia calculates what you dad need to pay. They will already likely have all the info they need but you should check with them. But from what you say, all he only needs to pay is 85% of his old age pension for his nursing home costs No that is very NOT true. If a spouse who is...
