Hey there brenda what a shitty time your having. The system pisses me off too. Centrelink love to pass the buck and lose forms and lately accuse innocent people of fraud. I like you and many of us didn't have the luxury of income protection etc. we couldn't claim any of my super as i was not classed as terminal. Couldn't get sickness benefit as my husband earns to much (the threshold is bloody ridiculous) so he has worked so so hard to keep our heads above water. I have given serious thought to staring a charity for people like yourself to offfer financial support and to those who can't take advantage of the welfare system. But I looked like a massive pain in the arse and I might look at a go find me page instead If I lived closer to you I'd happily help you fill out your forms. I work in a GP clinic normally as a nurse and have helped many to complete them so maybe you can see if you can make an appointment with your gp and the nurse and get them done. I print every detail of the patients chart that's relevant as it's all there in front of me and always take a copy in case it goes missing. Then the patient sees the dr so he can compete his part Also speak to your dr about getting some community nursing support to help you at home with your dad and yourself. Ask for help it's totally fine. Thinking of you. Hugs margie xx
