Assets re,old age pension how are they established/

It depends entirely where you are, which you have kept secret.

Where I am, the Govt counts all money invested anywhere, all property and assets owned, such as investment properties you own (but not your own home where you live yourself), value of your car, value of the contents of your own home, like the furniture, and some of the value of any superannuation fund you may have.

Then there is a separate test and cut-off here for any income you get from all sources, so look out for that where you are.
