Am I still eligible for Carer's payment?
My husband has been on a Disability Pension for several years. I have been his Carer and I receive a Carer's payment. He reached Age Pension age so therfore swapped to the Aged Pension. His Disability has not changed.
My problem now is he wants to do a particular voluntary job. For this job he must pass a basic Medical, conducted by a GP. If he passes will Centrelink have the right to look at my Carer's payment and say I am no longer eligible? He would only be doing this voluntary work for about one day a week and he would not be paid.
I think this voluntary job would be good for his health, and help his disability. So has anyone got any idea's what could happen?
im not sure MARSA, but i think you would lose it, if centerlink find out, if he is capable of work, even one day a week, he doesnt need a full time carer, [in centerlinks eyes, ] but make sure and check, you will find aall the pamphlets you want at centerlink, that will tell you,
