All sorts of nice benefits when you're a pensioner.

Frustrating trying to find out what they are, I've looked but can't find a list!

I get a free driver's license (they even reimbursed me the balance) and free rego for the car (that's a work in progress, because we have to change the rego to MY name only, cos DH is younger). Discounts on electricity, council rates, prescriptions, loads of things.

The pension is a Federal Government issue, but every State has different benefits. Weird.

You're lucky, Scozz :-)

Whilst in WA we get the free drivers licence, we only get 50% of the rego....and that is purely off the rego, not the associated third party insurance, stamp duty and GST which goes with it :-(

Only academic really as I am almost certain to lose my aged pension in 2017 :-(

I know I can get a pensioners dinner in a greasy spoon in Worthing and this includes a cup of tea!

Well, if we organise it, I can meet you again when I visit my youngest - who lives in Worthing!! :-)

...but I'll have to pay :-(
