Clickbait websites and social media accounts might say:

• there are new document requirements for Centrelink pensioners
• there are new eligibility and verification processes for Age Pensioners
• your Centrelink payments will be cancelled, suspended or halted if you don’t meet new requirements or guidelines
• you’ll get a fine or a debt if you don’t take action.

These aren’t true.
