OT (Occupational Therapy) Assessment

Another step towards my 2nd NDIS (and DSP) claim

This morning this anxious little soul headed out for the first of what turns out to be two OT sessions to assess how this 8D soul from Taygeta is coping with the day to day life on this very dense 3D planet...... or NOT coping as the case may be. The report from these sessions would form a part of my new NDIS claim.
This first morning session were a whole series of questions on several areas from my diagnosis which includes my childhood diagnosis of Autism (what is turning out a very handy piece of paper, or several pieces of papers as the case may be), anxiety, depression and PTSD, through to pretty well all aspects of my day to day life. One would think to be questions that anyone can ask, but it all boils down to the assessment, and the expertise required to compose a meaningful assessment - one that would be accepted by NDIS and DSP.
The next and final session is set for next Monday. These reports would I expect forms the confirmation of my Autistic/ASD diagnosis - a part of being an 8D soul from Taygeta. All souls with ASD are star seeds or other HD souls.
Now the other part of my pathway towards at least DSP if not also for NDIS....... I had been given meds for my anxiety disorder which also turns out to be anti-depressants, I gotten them last week but hadn't taken them cos ironically my anxiety over the reimbursement issues was overwhelming and was very upset at the thought of missing my dance sessions. That situation has since been resolved, well no reimbursement, but I had help with FoodBank and fuel enabling me to attend my dance sessions.
But now I was anxious about the OT session. I was told that the meds will take three weeks for them to kick in, and one's anxiety could get worse during these three weeks....... a case of getting worse before it gets better. Given that anxiety is hard wired into the DNA of Virgos and I have the Sun and four planets in Virgo I don't know if my anxiety would get any better, but I am on these meds so to fulfil the requirements for DSP - to be in treatment for the condition.
So my plan was after the OT session I would start on the meds, also being Monday, the beginning of the week, indeed the beginning of the "week" on my pill box.
And so with much trepidation I took my first pill........ and then went to sleep!! I am not sure if it was the pill that made me fall asleep, or just mental exhaustion from the OT session!!!! 😲🤪

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 ...
