Judy, providing you leave your super in your fund until age pension age, Centrelink won't include it as an asset or income. Once you reach age pension age your super can be assessed as an asset or income. I presume until then you may be considering claiming newstart or DSP etc.

Good luck.

Yes good luck with it  -- I have a Friend that has all sorts of health problems and is unable to get a pension -- the only thing they got after a cancer operation and also a heart attack and after having to use ALL their sick pay  and holiday pay was a health card for 1 year to help them with the chemist bills which was costing the earth -- and now struggling back at work and having to pay FULL price for about 8 medications which running into the hundreds on the very basic wage.
