20 April 2026 Dear [MP Name], Re: Urgent Ministerial Inquiry — Age Pension Denial / Delay I am a constituent in your electorate and I am writing to request your urgent assistance with a matter that is causing serious financial hardship. I am [Your Name], a senior Australian citizen residing at [Your Suburb], . I have been denied the Age Pension by Services Australia and am currently at the review stage. [Describe your situation: when you applied, why you were denied or how long you have been waiting, and how this is affecting you financially] I am aware that the ANAO has reported average Age Pension processing times of 49–84 days, and that over 1.52 million Australians aged 65–67 are currently not receiving the pension. A 2025 forensic audit by the Australian Pension Community Support Network found $1.33 billion in identified underpayments and a 40% AAT overturn rate — suggesting that a significant proportion of denials are incorrect. I respectfully request that you or your office: 1. Contact Services Australia to make a ministerial inquiry into my case 2. Request that my case be escalated for priority review 3. Advise me of the outcome of your inquiry I understand that ministerial inquiries from Members of Parliament are processed by Services Australia's Parliamentary Services team and typically receive a response within 10–15 business days. I would welcome the opportunity to meet with you or a member of your staff. Yours sincerely, [Your Name] Phone: [Your phone number] Email: [Your email address] [Suburb],
