Brenda, if it's any consolation I have tried to set-up centre link accounts for both my mum and a friend of mine and then link services to them and each time I have tried there have been issues with the website that have stuffed the while thing up -all I've managed to do initially is increase my blood pressure and my swearing output for the day!! So don't feel like a failure I'm sure that some of these areas are set up to cause frustration so people give up. Can you get assistance from your gp with the forms or possibly go to someone like the salvo's setting up the online area? There is absolutely no shame in asking for help. https://www.humanservices.gov.au/customer/enablers/online-account-guides-and-video-demonstrations here is a link to videos showing how to set up your online account. If you want to try it and if you have any problems doing it we can try and assist you from the forum. It might take a bit longer but I'm sure we can work it out for you. Big hugs lovely, just remember you are not a failure or a burden. You support soooooo many people both on here and in your day to day life, you are a valuable asset to both areas. Xx Cath
