Hi @Zoffiel, did your GP tick the 'permananent' box on your certificate? I have had the same problems with Centre#+it after my 3rd BC episode earlier this year. If its not temporary they are essentially telling you to apply for dsp. I have a dsp application pending (I have other medical issues as well) - for 12mths no less, now with a social worker assisting me to see why it's taken so long, meanwhile 'surviving' on Newstart not being able to work. Contact them and ask to talk to a social worker to help sort it out and also advise of the stress and frustration it's causing you. It should be as simple as Dr ticking the 'temporary' box on the form, if he hasn't already. It has happened to me twice as Dr has said my circumstances are permanent but that doesn't suit the system because that doesn't correlate with their 'boxes' for Newstart. I hope you get a speedy resolution. It totally sucks. I wish daily I didn't have to have anything to do with them. Happy to help if I can. 🙂
