Dont let illness put you off travelling if you can still walk a bit, remember its taxi, airport,wheel chair, taxi, hotel That is an excellent attitude to have, Zorro. That should be the motto of DSPoverseas. Banjo, DSPoverseas should do more to encourage even the most crippled of the DSPers to travel overseas. There are hundreds of thousands of DSPers who are stuck in some miserable hole in Australia: they are quadriplegic or paraplegic and stuck in a nursing home, or they have no arms or legs, or they are writhing in pain, or they are agoraphobic and terrified of going outside, or they are completely blind, deaf, mute, and so on. All they need to do is get onto the internet (here!), book an Air Asia ticket for $200, and then, as Zorro said, "taxi, airport, wheelchair, taxi, hotel". And then when they get to South East Asia, they will find PARADISE !!!!

This is the reason I put pages of pictures on our web site for the pensioners to see that can not travel, also to encourage other to get out and see different parts of Asia. www.australianpensioner.org/travel.htmlAnd Banjo does encourage travel he is always telling me to " piss Off" ;D |

Thanks guys - I could feel my blood pressure dropping as I read these posts - I tend to get very worked up about these things and so of course I have worried myself about being kicked off the DSP. But now I feel much more relaxed about it - and I wouldn't have believed anything CL would have told me - it really takes hearing it from the mouths of other recipients like yourselves... so, thank you! Yes, I was granted only recently - after the new tables... so I guess that makes me feel a little more confident - because it required so much paperwork... and proving every different aspect of my health problems that fit into all of the different tables and scores and whatnot. It just occurred to me that Centrelink is like a reverse business... trying to lose customers... and losing "customers" already on the DSP would have such a low success rate that they just wouldn't try... much easier to "man the gates" and try to keep as many people out.  |

Yes, Sally, I understand your mental conundrums..... Kurt Fearnley is a man who has no legs, and yet who has won gold medals for Australia.... and crawled along the Kokoda Track, a feat that would be beyond the physical abilities of 80% of Australians. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurt_FearnleyI mean, the thing is... he has no legs at all, so obviously he is eligible for DSP.... .....but if he can crawl along the Kokoda Track, a feat beyond the physical abilities of 80% of Australians..... ....maybe Jenny Macklin should force him onto Newstart, force him to take a job delivering pizzas or newpapers--certainly within his demonstrated abilities......and on Newstart he would probably be forced to eat cat food........ ....a nice reward for an Australian Gold Medallist....... Many, many conundrums............... |

I've been reviewed once, other than for investigative reasons.
Just a form that I filled in myself.
It was a while ago though, maybe 7 years.

After being granted DSP in 2007, I heard nothing from them until I applied for "IP" and had my JCA after 5 years; with nothing heard in the last year also! I suppose they've got bigger fish to chase rather than legitimate DSPers! Cheers:)
