Once again Jimmy that is a lie. Of course the ARO can change decisions if they are incorrect at the first claim. That is their job. But it would seem very few do and they are just probably trying to wear you down and demolalise you also. SSAT is the next step probably. Hopefully not but if it is try and get legal help prior and let then know you will continue to the federal court if need be. Attack them like they do to you. At least you are telling the truth. Soldier on.

Well i do all of the above, keep names and where they are. Got a call Friday from the ARO, she said she has all the evidence and will contact me when it has been over viewed.But then added she may not be able to over turn the decision. So wtf is she even there for if she cant say it is wrong? I can feel it starting all over again She said "she may not be able to over turn the decision" This is correct. she is referring to how the evidence stacks up, not to her ability to change decisions.

Yes scallywag you may be correct and I realized my mistake as soon as I posted it. Alas to late to stop the post. Although in my defense it does have a double meaning and i am always worried by everything that they say. Too many lies over 20 years makes me negative i guess.

Kindly keep being negative. I don't have to agree with what you say but you provide a different perspective to things. Cheers PS There are many things that I haven't told you but I have agreed with you.

No probs Greenman. Since my ABI I have been accused of being abnormally happy but when it comes to you know who it is almost impossible for anyone to be optimistic. I now am most content in general but the needless misery so many of us were/are still being made to suffer is the stuff of pure pessimism. Even anger comes to mind and I know getting angry never helps anybody under any circumstances. So lets all be optimistic about you know who from now on. OK not possible. Smile anyway as I'm sure that will upset them more than they upset us even.

Not really a surprise, we'll be watching to see how the AAT responds.

Disability is a matter of perception. If you can do just one thing well, you're needed by someone.

Dear Jimmy.
I am sorry to hear of your plight. Not only do you have a serious health condition, but your mental health is impacted by the difficult Centrelink DSP process. Mate, I am sorry I was unable to read the hundreds of comments since you first posted in 2014 and I am new here.
I had assisted in similar cases in the past. There are a few things to consider: Finances: 1. Have you received a payout, and is there a preclusion period? 2. If not, and they rejected you, did you submit an appeal? 3. if you did submit an appeal, did it have new evidence not originally tabled?
If you have been appealing the decision based on the original assessment, then I suggest you re-apply rather than appeal. The appeal process is to find out if Centrelink has made a wrongful decision based on the evidence they had at the time of assessment. New evidence are to be assessed in new applications.
Health: 4. Did your spinal injury cause a permanent disability without prospect of rehabilitation? 5. Psych: is this mental health condition a result of the injury (e.g. are you now feeling depressed and anxious due to your change life) or have you always felt this way? Depending on the type of medications and how often you receive psych support, counselling etc, Centrelink usually wants to see around 2 years of medical evidence, but there are triggers such as an accident that can cause mental issues they can rely on. Part of the hidden criteria is you need to have a stable provider of services, otherwise you end up lumped as a risk (e.g. those who doctor shop for pain killers).
SUPER
I think you should also look into any superannuation accounts you have to try to see if you have any Total and Permanent Disability insurance. Its OK if you withdraw the funds and did not claim, you can still make a claim. But be careful here, it may impact newstart allowance ( you can only have limited funds in your bank account).
Good luck with it, and if you want to ask specific questions, PM me.
Cheers

Currently the decision has been affirmed by the ARO, a not unusual practice. Previously he would have then gone to to SSAT which would examine the way Centrelink assessed him for errors.
I understand that this is now done by a lower level of the AAT, I'm still not sure how it works but I would not have suggested reapplying for the DSP on a bad ARO decision. If he is being paid in lieu of appeal than he may as well hang on.

From memory boss that's what happened to me , more importantly never give up , never lose hope or be prepared to let the Buzzards win . Yes I know its very tough , but keep grinding away. The life that awaits really is worth it especially if you have family here . Never ever admit defeat Itsa

Thanks everyone, Advicehero to for taking the time to write. If you go back to the start most of the questions are answered Advicehero. As Banjo said i wont start off another application, i won before 9 months ago, and i am still getting payed now. My serious anxiety has been treated for many years with regular medication and trips to my phyc. Well over 2 years worth. My spine was diagnosed as permanent for life, and i did get a payout. CL know about this to. I backed up my appeal with 2 new reports. And as mentioned in previous post, i have a letter from C/L legal saying they agree with 20 points in a single table 9 months ago. The appeals tribunal rang yesterday to confirm my address, and to say documents are underway to me. Needless to say this puts my anxiety through the roof. As i learn more i will let all of you know.

At this point should I mention a "Confidentiality Order" because your identity and medical details WILL be posted on a open website regardless of the AAT saying they will follow the Privacy Act. They don't.
PS - here's wishing you the best of luck
