The federal government has announced it will cut deeming rates for pensioners for the first time since 2015.
The rates are used to estimate how much some pensioners earn on their financial investments, and determine the fortnightly payments they receive.
It assumes pensioner's investments earn a set rate of interest, no matter what they really earn.
Social Services Minister Anne Ruston explains what the changes will mean.
