Background Information


Back in my childhood I was diagnosed with ASD which made for a most difficult life for me, living with this condition aside from the other challenges that comes with living on the most dense 3D planet in the galaxy.

However despite my ASD I was able to land a job in the Public Sector, through the "back door" with the help of a friend, basically working in a sheltered situation for my ASD. I managed to hold onto this job for over 30 years until the planned-demic of 2020, and forcing to quit in 2022 due to the Jab mandates and my aversion to being forcibly injected with a poison into my body in the name of a bugeroo carrying a 99.7% recovery rate for those afflicted with it.

So for a while I lived off my savings, however, all of my investments turned pearshaped, and I found myself bereft of funds at the end of 2023.

Consequently I needed to get back into the jobs market, hence getting on Centrelink for the JobSearch Allowance. However I soon found that my ASD was holding me back, so my GP suggested I claim for Disability Support Pension (DSP), and to this end I started seeing a psychologist - necessary for backing up my DSP claim.

After several months of delay, my DSP claim was finally assessed in September..... and rejected 2 days after my 61st birthday. So with the Aged Pension not kicking in until age 67, this leaves me with SIX YEARS on the much lower JobSearch payment. At my age no one is going to employ me. Like it or not ageism is the thing. I may need to apply for 20 jobs per month as part of the activity requirements, the vast majority will ignore me. As soon as they see my age on my resume, it will be straight into the trash can.

In front of me therefore lies SIX YEARS OF POVERTY

Here I will share my journey on my struggles during my six years of poverty until, if I live long enough, am able to claim the Aged Pension.

Medical Exemption !!!! This morning I did get through to APM, my jobsearch provider for those with disabilities, and was told that although my DSP claim has been rejected, I am apparently on a "medical exemption" from my job search obligations until March 9 2025. So basically I can't be on the job search system until at least then. Uhhhh OK if I have this medical exemption until basically next year then why have my DSP claim been rejected?? The irony of it all...... Centrelink is often having to motivate the so called "dole bludgers" into putting in an effort to look for jobs, while someone here who WANTS/NEED a job and is willing to put in the effort to this end with the help of APM is being prevented from doing so!!!!! Now I just discovered that Centrelink have paid me an extra $300 today!!!! That is basically the difference between my Jobsearch Allowance and DSP. Dang if I knew they were going to pay me this money I would have been able to pay for 10 sessions...

  Equation of Survival Armed with new information - Records from the hospital of my childhood diagnosis, and information from Service Australia to enable me to access the requirements for getting onto DSP, there is a decided renewed hope that I may be able to get onto NDIS and/or DSP. However the equation of survival of the next six years of poverty remains essentially the same. I am currently in the process of re-applying for NDIS armed with evidence of my childhood diagnosis, and by this weekend I will have accessed the WorkForce Australia website for information on the requirements for DSP and where I missed out previously with view towards hopefully being able to meet those requirements. One would hope the evidence of my childhood diagnosis will also be helpful towards gaining the necessary 20 points for DSP. Should I still be unsuccessful in getting onto NDIS/DSP, it will be down to the loan company. My catastrophic loan repayment currently takes up about 30% of my JobSearch a...

Selling My Soul To The Devil The additional information I had gained from what it would take to apply for NDIS and DSP proved to be handy. Having my childhood diagnosis of ASD, known back then as autism, should help my NDIS cause immensely, however, as per usual, further assessments are required. In this instance, the assessment by an Occupational Therapist which occurs over several sessions to basically see how this 8D soul from Taygeta is coping with the day to day life on the most dense 3D planet in the galaxy. For DSP there seems to be basic requirements, that is, you need a diagnosis of the condition, evidence you are being treated for the condition, and that the condition is "stabilized" which basically means it is not going to get any better anytime soon, not in two years anyway. In addition you need evidence that all treatment options have been explored. Unfortunately it doesn't refer to the alternative treatments, herbal medicines, meditation and other practices ...
