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 ...

  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...

Applying for Public Housing. I previously baulked at applying for public housing for several reasons. A higher crime rate in areas where there is public housing in a city whose crime rate is already higher than that of New York City. And anti-social neighbors. True enough these are generalizations but it is borne out of experience. I grew up in a public housing estate and having to contend with neighbors who throws loud parties and does not respect noise curfews. So many nights I have been kept awake by selfish neighbors throwing parties. Not to mention the array of other anti-social behaviors occurring on a regular basis in our street. Then back in my previous apartment, there were public housing units at the back, and they were often noisy, with neighbors arguing, fighting, slamming doors, and screaming at the top of their voices. Meanwhile neighbors in private rentals and who owned their own homes are generally better behaved. There has been exceptions over the years but generally s...

Vehicle Issues After this fortnite's Centrelink check I am still no closer to having my rear brakes replaced. I have less than half the funds necessary for this urgent work. In its current form I literally can't afford to run my vehicle. The reason being this cursed loan repayment which is held against my vehicle. There seems no option but to give up my vehicle. It will mean I won't be able to attend my dance sessions nor other events, but I will have 30% more of my income - the 30% used to service the loan. Being a Virgo I have contingency plans. Should I lose my vehicle will I be able to acquire another vehicle? This morning I did a Google search and found there are vehicles available in Perth for under 5K from car dealers. Obviously ancient vehicles, like late 1990's to early 2000's, and guarenteed it will need work done on them hence why it is so cheap. You do get what you pay for. But it will be better than nothing, and given I will have 30% extra income, I sho...
