Sadly, for the DSP (excluding residency) they have only changed the rules twice. 1st was when the new impairment tables were introduced, and 2nd when all under 35's were reviewed/committed to participation plans. BUT they have relied on their "customers" not being able to either know or care. Anyone reading this and not a member. Find out what your original assessment was, and make sure you have at least the minimum medical evidence. The government has budgeted $50 million for reassessments out to 2019, and the maths say that the under 35's aren't the only targets. I didn't know about the 50 million dsp budget out to 2019. They would have spent millions already with the under 35's. Yes from what l read it turned out to be a totally waste of money as the vast majority ended up passing the reassessment, the government was probably hoping a large percentage would fail so it could shift them onto Nostart and save money, hopefully that will put them off picking on the over 35's but l guess we will see. It just puts people who are already suffering from illness and disability through a whole heap of stress for nothing and wastes millions. |

I am under 35 and my DSP was cancelled. Has been many people kicked off the DSP.
I am appealing the decision as I am well and truly entitled to receive DSP.
Am shocked to find out but have heard there is a push to get young people off pensions.
I was told by the social worker many people have lost DSP in the last year and that
I must appeal.

I am under 35 and my DSP was cancelled after a JCA. This year many people kicked off the DSP. I am appealing the decision as I am well and truly entitled to receive DSP. I presented my case with strong evidence and the assessor seemed very understanding of my illness. Am shocked to find out but have heard there is a push to get young people off pensions. I was told by the social worker many people have lost DSP in the last year and that I must appeal. From memory, only about 10% were forced off DSP. I'd definitely be appealing, there are a lot of good people here who have been through an appeal (and won) and can help you out. |

Hi crotts83. If as you say you are well and truly entitled to DSP Then I would strongly encourage you to seek damages when you finally get back on it. They are nothing but bluff is C/L for the most part. If you are entitled to it then why are you being harrassed. They deny you your rights and then you have to prove them wrong. Rather like innocent until proven guilty in reverse. There is a system called Act of Grace where you can claim compensation for wrong doings by C/L. I am told the rate of success is tiny but if everybody who is denied justice claims it then maybe things will change. Again, welfare rights is the place to go for further info on it. This abuse and discrimination must stop.

I live in a small town and know of four people (including myself) who have lost their DSP. |
