Talked to our mum about DSP and we were very brave telling her “I would save it up for the future so I can move out”

Anyway the process of getting Disability Support Pension (DSP) here is a fucking nightmare! Hell, our mum WORKS FOR SERVICES AUSTRALIA and knew it was Hell to get but not how much of a hell it was

You have to like- GOD. These requirements are such bullshit

You have to do like a Program Of Support thingy to make sure that you Really Can’t Work

WHICH IS SHIT! C’mon!

Trying to call the Australian government agency that handles all of our welfare and support. Multiple times between 4.30pm and 5.30pm on a Monday, and this isn't the first time I (and many friends) have had similar experiences. They literally just tell you they're too busy and hang up on you. I'm not even trying to get money out of them; I'm trying to CANCEL the payment they've been giving me that I'm no longer entitled to. I sent the form in to them a month ago, and they haven't acknowledged it, and they keep paying me, which means I have to be careful not to spend that money because they'll demand it paid back at some point regardless whose fault it was. It must be incredibly more frustrating for somebody who is trying to get the support they need. This is fucked.

I wish I could write one or two well worded emails with attachments of medical evidence, send that to whoever the fuck at services australia, and get approved for DSP in like. Two days. That would be awesome. Straightforward process (supply evidence) (request DSP with evidence) (Get approved)

But unfortunately they made getting DSP a fucking NIGHTMARE! I can’t even- I can’t even do it and I. Am not as disabled as some people are
