The title says it all.
I've been on the DSP since June 2011 but that wasn't made official until March 2012 after I had a SSAT phone interview where I was assessed under the new impairment tables. It was a long drawn out process that took about 18 months since I was rejected twice. My major concerns are the so-called healthy welfare card and being reviewed even though I accumulated 30 points without the addition of one of my ailments which on its own would be another 20 points (I was not diagnosed with that until after I made my application but before the SSAT interview). I also went through the rigmarole of getting not only my superannuation but also the insurance I had on one policy, that required me to be interviewed at length by an insurance doctor.
So, my question is would that doctor's report which is quite lengthy be useful if I were to be reviewed considering that it was 3 years ago? Being 48 and out of the workforce now for close to 8 years the thought of a review doesn't fill me with particular delight, nor does being treated like a moron who needs to have everything on a card. I guess the next step is that we'll all be micro-chipped.
