Oh Brenda! I hear you, when I was going through Chemo and had to stop working due to how severely ill I was, Centrelink were NOT helpful! They said I had to wait about 11 weeks before they would help, and deemed Id have to spend about $10,000 of my own money before they would give me sick benefits. It was a shocking time!! I had no sick leave and wasnt being paid, I couldnt access super. Im a single parent too. It wasnt until I finished chemo I found one of my Superannuations had a component in it, it was so much paperwork but so worth it. They approved and backdated it eventhough it was 90 day waiting period I still came up ok. Im on it til Jan 2018, Im working 3 days and they pay the other 2 days, up to 65% of my full time salary, but will have to think about changing jobs as I cant rehabilitate back into what Im doing, its physically ridiculous! but I have to work.
Centrelink need a kick up the butt!! they say ring, dont come in but honestly its a nightmare, so Brenda I would march in and say you need HELP!!!! I too have thought about the Disability pension,but id have to be severe to not work at all, and I dont want to do nothing. Hugs xo
