I've always wondered : if a person on DSP at a single rate goes on to OAP, does their payment get reduced, since OAP is less ?

Why would you go on it if is less? Your disability doesn't magically heal because a date on a calendar changes.

Why is it less? The only reason it would be less is if you moved overseas and lost the pensioner bonus. If you stayed on the DSP and remained a resident with unlimited portability then you may not lose it.

19th June 2012... From Call to International Services Hobart
19th June 2012.. Latest Real Facts are here. DSP portability..Call today to International Services Hobart
1..You are affectively in real terms re applying for the DSP today under the Job Capacity Assessment. The same criteria as if you were today applying from one benifit to another to apply for the DSP today...Assume you are not receiving the DSP today. Thats the case.. You are a new application for the DSP to if lucky get portability.. Rember its if you are totally incapacitated from work for the next 5 years.. Are they planning cancellation then? or the sage all over again.
2..By applying for portability you may loose your current DS.. Remember that is a true high risk
3. The words you will read generous, new rules are rubbish.. think about it..17 mill is peanuts to them
4..They.. being International Services will be working closely with Job Capacity Assessment People
5.. May be a benifit to contact centrelink in the 1st instance before international Services because they have your medical records there.They have had your history.
6..The rules will change as time goes on to make it even harder to get portability as they file through the claims, they will increase the criteria
7. Apply for portability and take the chance you may be taken off the DSP All together,you must meet the strict criteriaiof todays rules of a new DSP application.
8. If after many week/months you finally get your Assessment forms you then go to your Doctor fo his assessment under the guideline strict questions, you may also then have to go to a Govt Doctor, if I/Services etc; don't accep their assessment
9.. If you for any reason, even with medical reports against the assessment being made on the grounds of exacerbating your health more I/services state you will not be able to apply for portability at all, a case of worsen your disability before stage 1
10. If you are of the minority.. that after all the efferts and reports cannot be refused on medical or any grounds then you may be lucky for 5 years.. you win the fight.. to get portability

I would also advise not taking advantage of their new system of allowing GP's to lodge the new Medical Reports (TDR's) directly with Centrelink via the net.
This doesn't give you any chance to see what your doctor has written at all. It also doesn't give you the chance to take a photocopy first, and obtain proof of lodgement with Centrelink.
Take control of documenting your illness for them, because they won't do it for you.

Guys.. When I read all these site messages I am amazed at the majority of people talking in terms as if they are approved for ther portabilty.. things like how much money they will loose, sore shoulders, young ages on DSP short termaDSP recipients and so on and so forth. You really need to focus on the facts AND dsp criteria to even be on it.... Its a serious highly strict assessment of permanent disabilty, both psycholical and physical, having panic attacks and stress with a sore arm should not have even qualified for the DSP. How many of you will even qualify, how many will loose your DSP because you can still work. You will find this system is right and if you do not qualify you should not have qualified in the past. The Govt is looking to 100 million plus by these assessments and as stated scores will be removed of the DSP, they are seeking true cost savings, nursing home placements, medials costs etc; etc; The administator has not even put basic up to date information up here, I got basics from 1 call today to Inte.rnational Services, know body has mentioned what I have. Just a basic comment of fact.. 13 weeks portability will finish for all DSP people after 1st July next year 2013 then it will be 6 weeks maximum unless portability approved. Well if you are genuinely disabled from working under the current guidelines of portability you will get portability. As simple as that. If you are not you will loose your DSP its as simple as that. You are being medically assessed not finacially assessed on how much you may loose.

RE: the comment 'spaceyone' above .. if that is a fact,may well be.. sounds logical to Govt workings.. however under freedom of information (FOI)nothing medical can be given without your signed permission to another interested party and if International Services declined your application on those grounds in wanting to sight his report etc; you would have a good arguement. Good points though.. You are entitled to see what your Doctor writes or your medical history to another party its your welfare and in this case of portability must not only be discussed between you and your Doctors but be seen to be the truth..and yes.. you need to prove your assessment form was sent through, they could say they want these reports sent through the internet by a Doctor for security reasons of a persons medical history as postal may go astray. I would want a copy of my assessment, on legal terms later in some dispute or legal forum this would be essential. I have never not seen any medical report before it has gone to any govt dept or lawful entity. Thewhole situation of this capacity assessment I would think would be by Doctor /patient discussion, the questions no doubt to the Doctors will be loaded against us but if you are disabled from future working. You are disabled from future working. Don't rely on just your Doctor get Psychiatric assessments, they are not telling you that but remember the assessment is both psychological and physical, you medical practisioner is not a psychiatrist normally as well.

Jan 1st the 6 weeks comes in, Jan 1st... not July 2013. We have, or allow, very little discussion of what's wrong with members on the DSP, it is totally irrelevant to the fact that they ARE on the DSP, put there by Centrelink.
So if Centrelink are going to start saying they were wrong in the past do you think Minister Macklin is going to stand up in Parliament and say she was wrong or lying last year when she stated that people would not be penalised for Centrelink's mistakes?
I think everyone here will submit to a fair and unbiased assessment by independent health professionals, but not to unqualified Centrelink officers resentful that their new portability legislation will not catch all the people they wanted.

What it will come down to again is whether their "rules" will stand up if not backed by legislation. They haven't in the past, as we proved at the SSAT last year, so if we have to do it again, we will.
