Reassessment

Last amended: 3 August 2010

Reasons for reassessment

An existing assessment may be reassessed if the pensioner's assessable income, assets, residential or family situation change, or due to a change in legislation. The reason for the reassessment will determine the reassessment type that needs to be completed by creating a new worksheet in PIPS or registering a new case for the classification type in CMS.
