banglaroadmode Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 All fellow Australian disability support pensioners unite as our pensions are targets of a new legislation not allowing us out of the country for more than a month a year without our pension being completely canceled from 1/1/2015 .

giddyup Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 (edited) A disability pension isn't the same as an aged pension that gives you the right to retire to a country of your choice. To be able to retire abroad on an aged pension you have to qualify with 35 years of working life within Australia, so disability support pensioners will have to wait until they turn 65 like the rest of us.
