Not sure how you got to $210K per year payment. But it is not true The value of the house up to that amount (indexed) per person seeking NH care is used in the means test calculation for the : Means test fee - from $0 to $85k lifetime cap Hoteling supplement - from $0 to $22.50 per day Non...

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...

It's like the spare tyre question. Most ?all modern battery systems have inverters that can operate in an off grid mode In order to operate in a blackout the system needs to be automatically electrically isolated from the grid. This is a safety related issue as you don't want parts of a...

Maybe GasBuddy

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...

It's online to the RFS

Rule of thumb applies to modern "fuel efficient" aircraft as well? Sounds like the wobbly arrow?

Can Shingles vaccination prevent or delay Dementia? And can it slow down dementia? Maybe

Correct but the mistake was scanning the wrong one The 3 BP are all on the same screen next to one another - only a slight swipe to the right or left can move a BP

Yes but everyone should have their own boarding pass QR code

Could also be described like an arrow where the tail wobbles a bit more than the head.?

Apparently activewear is Ok these days

If carry on or checked luggage is maxed out, just have one of these as a backup. Collapsible. Wear everything that does not fit in carry on. After boarding put all the excess into this bag

That has always been the catch all rule that CX used to exclude anyone they didn't want who were otherwise eligible on the basis of the other requirements. This happened more than once at the Marco Polo at SFO in the past - was relegated to the AF lounge canteen. "Sorry the lounge is full"...

That's the best way to make your thread last a thousand pages🤣 If planning to change into JimJams, don't do it until after the flight has reached cruise altitude. Just in case something happens on take off and the flight has to return to the airport. Not a good look if you have to evacuate or...
