Payments whils overseas

[eight]

Notified c/l of my intended travels o/s and on the standed letter I was given on payments, it says,,, ''my payments will continue to be paid into my Australian bank account every FOUR weeks. ''
Is this a new regulation, law, or a mistake. Makes thing awkward if you have a $500 withdraw limit on your card, and if one was to withdraw 4 weeks OAP payments in one day it makes you a good robbery target.

Its not new.

They did this to me in 2002 when I was granted unlimited portability.

Strange that for the last 6 months o/s it continued on every fortnight, EXCEPT EXCEPT when I notified them I was leaving 7 months ago they gave me a printout of the OAP payments and the day it was to be lodged in my account, but even before I had got off the plane my OAP was reduced by $100 plus . My THREE e/mails to International went unanswered and the next fortnight payment reduced down to half again. To this day still no letter why. Welfare Rights got involved and got an instant result and was back paid.. THANK_YOU Welfare Rights Org. for your good work.

My second problem was the week I returned, I found my OAP had been suspended. Letters in my mail box say its because I have not given c/l a tax return for my business Which was closed in 2003 and wound up in 2005 Wtf. I got that sorted out after a lot of hassles.

I wont go into the next problem, I just sent it all to Welfare Rights... I'm out of here, had a guts full, I just feel sorry for others that are claiming Newstart, DSP etc

You Must Not Quit
When things go wrong as they sometimes will
When the road your trudging seems uphill
When funds are low and debts are high
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh
When care is pressing you down a bit
Rest, if you must but never quit
Life is queer with its twists and turns
As everyone of us sometimes learns
And many a failure turns about
When he might have won if he’d stuck it out
Stick to your task, though the pace seems slow
You may succeed with one more blow

Success is failure turned inside out
The silver tint of a cloud in doubt
And you never can tell how close you are
It may be near, it may be far
So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit
It’s when things seem worst
That you must not quit

[Banjo]

When things go wrong and will not come right,
Though you do the best you can,
When life looks black as the hour of night -
A pint of plain is your only man.

When money's tight and hard to get
And your horse has also ran,
When all you have is a heap of debt -
A pint of plain is your only man.

When health is bad and your heart feels strange,
And your face is pale and wan,
When doctors say you need a change,
A pint of plain is your only man.

When food is scarce and your larder bare
And no rashers grease your pan,
When hunger grows as your meals are rare -
A pint of plain is your only man.

In time of trouble and lousey strife,
You have still got a darlint plan
You still can turn to a brighter life -
A pint of plain is your only man.

Hello Jack!!!!

So lets get real has any body applied for portability and got it or been nocked back how did you go what did they ask expect of you and if nocked back did you get to keep your DSP ...?

[Denis-NFA]

pete....

the only person i am aware of on this board that has gained unlimited portability is cheetal...check the name and the posting for that name....

Its actually quite straight forward how you get Unlimited Portability.

[Banjo]

I've applied and been refused, been waiting 4 months for a review of the decision.
A friend of a board member has been successful as well as cheetal.

My take is it's there if you play their silly game, they want to tick off points on a clipboard at the assessment... make sure you have plenty.

Totally agree and if you want it you do make sure you have all the points that they can tick off.

And it takes some time to make sure you have all the points in place.

Your totally right once again Banj; but the only problem is the idiot doing the box-ticking? It seems it's up to the C/L individual to characterise us as they see fit, as I said in my last long-winded post! My main psychological disorder of 52yrs which got me onto the pension in the 1st place because of aggressive work attitudes, didn't even rate mention or be counted in the summary for the JCA? They made out I was a full blown alcoholic who had accquired brain injuries from an auto accident; never stating, that these had aggravated or been anecdotal towards my life-long mental problems! So a lowly civil servant, has power of life and death decisions over us, and totally disregarding all Professional affadavits submitted; be careful! So be very prepared people, but dont let the bastards bully you, and keep on trying. Dont you just love to dance with C/L, and maybe you can even take Banj in with you, he's good at it! I like tripping the buggers up, myself... Be Safe... Cheetal:))
