I would encourage anyone who can work while on the DSP to do so. For the last 10 years,I had a casual job. Unfortunately the job has somewhat dried up. While I was working my self esteem and confidence grew. I got to meet and work alongside some awesome people. As it was a casual job it was ideal for my personal circumstances. Of course you have to take into account your individual circumstances ect. One would hope that Centrelink would look favourably upon those who want to work.

My worry with working while on DSP is that in this age of uncertainty and reviews if you work at all then CL might use it against you during a Job Capacity assessment...like if you can work x amount of hours then you can do more etc. Give them an inch and they will take a mile. Not that I want to discourage people from working if they are able to.

Sometimes the best thing you can do for yourself is to prove yourself wrong. I'm not saying that everyone on the DSP goes out and gets a 25 hour per week job. All I'm saying is that if your looking for a casual/part time job then you should get help from centrelink and not be penalized. Volunteer work is another avenue to consider.
