I asked for a psychologist from my GP. What I got was a psychiatrist who said I don't know you so I cannot do a mental assessment. He put me on some antidepressants which gave me diarrhea so bad I lost 5 kg and had to go off them. The medication also blew my glands up including in my underarm which triggered ultrasound tests to check. That was way back in March or April. My next appointment with the psychiatrist isn't until next month. Thinking of cancelling on the useless prick.
I rang center link again this week. I got the same old "we are waiting for the job assessment reports". I got stroppy with the girl and said "well that is a lie" so she had another look and changed tactics and said the claim was lodged on the 16th of this month and the assessment team will send out a letter when they make a decision but she couldn't commit to when that will actually be. If they pass my claim they will have to cough up over $7,000 in payments backdated to February. Pity I cannot claim the interest bill from the loans I had to use to cover no income.
