Newstart Centerlink MD's?
Somehow Centerlink are now medical doctors as they will not accept a second three month doctors certificate to say I cannot work and they say I am to be booked in to see a disability job provider even...

Hi @Brenda5,
I'm sorry to hear Centrelink is causing you grief at a time when you least need it.
It makes absolutely no sense that cancer is seen as a disability in the eyes of the law but not Centrelink.
You have received some great advice from the online members and I agree this is a situation that requires action.
There is a good chance that once you go to the Disability Employment Service they will accept the Doctors Certificate however, you shouldn't have to take this step. I also recommend you get in touch with your local member. They are in a position to deliver quick results.
If you have any further questions or if I can help in any way feel free to message me online or ring the advisory line and ask to speak to Michelle.
Please keep me updated with your progress.
Best wishes,
Michelle
