Changes to the pension assets test come into force on January 1, 2017.
For over a year, people have been talking about the upcoming changes to the pension assets test, starting on 1 January 2017.
Department of Human Services (DHS) general manager Hank Jongen said the majority of pensioners would not be affected by the changes.
About 8 per cent of pensioners were expected to get a reduced pension rate or no pension at all, the DHS estimates.
