Hi Brenda, centrelink is such a painful process. I have just applied for sickness benefit as i have not worked since March. As I've heard getting a disp pension is impossible, tho if you're a drug addict that is classed as a dissabilty because they can't get jobs?? arrrhh :s
Can you get a low income health care card? big savings like discounted rego, power bills etc. Is better than nothing :)
I recently saw a natropath to help me get over chemo and get me fighting fit for THE BIG surgery, very glad I did!! She wants to see me after the surgery to help with my anxiety and depression.
