The system bloody sucks that's for sure Brenda. I work in a gp clinic and theres plenty people still on a disability pension when they don't have to be. You work hard all your life and pay your bloody tax and can't get shit when you need it. Income protection costs a bloody fortune. I couldn't claim anything either I might have told you. Can't use any of your super unless you are terminal and have 12 months or less to live can't or have been on a Centrelink payment for 26 weeks and then you have to meet certain criteria. My hubby worked to pay the bills and mortgage so couldn't claim that. Can't claim financial hardship unless you are 3.months in arrears with your mortgage and the bank is about to sell your house plus you have to have been on a govt payment first too. Can't claim for travel unless you live more than a certain amount of kms from the hospital which we didn't but it took at least 45 minutes to get there can't claim medical expenses unless you go private. But I see all these bloody bludgers taking the system for granted and it shits me to tears. Brenda hang in there it's bullshit what you've been through. Contact your local federal member for some support and advice and let them know how you've been treated. I have good one who has taken my concerns about the above and my whinge about the waiting list for public recon in Brisbane to Canberra at least for discussion. Good luck keep us posted. Margie xx
