Hmmm
Can't upload my letter, can't see how you don't qualify for awlr, as I thought been a NZ 'ER they add both countries ,ie NZ and oz residency
I have over 30 something years residency and the letter says I have over 45 yrs
Verbatim Our records show that you have lived in Australia for at least 300 months between the relevant ages.as you have at least the minimum residence of 45 years required to receive the maximum proportional rate of payment,your disability support pension will not be affected after six weeks outside of Australia

His mother is 87, so every year over 65 does not count for AWLR.
If she has been in Australia for... say 35 years... then her AWLR is still only 13 years. I think she has to re-set the clock by coming back to Australia then being out of the country again on the 1st July.

Yes, I looked at the legislation and if your disability occurred within Australia the AWLR does not apply. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk what about new legislation about entering OZ before or/on after 1.July 2014? are we exempt from this as well? i wanna return to OZ before that date but bit confused and afraid as i have only 20 AWLR years. any idea any one?

It seems that if the disability occurred in Australia then you will not be affected by the 35 year rule if you are not old enough to have 35 years.
Of course the original advice is still to be followed. Don't be in Australia on the 1st July.

Just going on the letters all overseas residents received. Edit: Just noticed a slight imperfection in the original post, that's you will not be affected by the 35 year rule if you are not old enough to have 35 yearsSorry about that.
