Sure you can reapply, if you lose the DSP because you have gone back to work you will have to go through the system when you apply again.
Keep a record of the hours you worked and have a doctor's report say why these hours were still too much for you and you had to give it up.

As far as I know, if you haven't worked overseas and your girlfriend has supported you whilst in China, you can reclaim Disability Support Pension immediately upon return to Australia, anytime during the next 2 years. If you happen to have done some volunteer work in China, as long as the Chinese Government has no records of it, the Aussie govt won't know. If you get my drift.  |

Im currently in Oz and have reported my arrival and deptaure. Very pleasant exchange and they did say it showed on my screen but also said that sometimes it doesnt and thats why we need to report in . Was asked when I will return and I asked why ,she said to make sure you dont overstay the 13 weeks. Fair enough.

Basically you can do as you please, when you ring Centrelink International you are not asking permission to travel, you are asking that they note your absence and are letting them know when you will return. Not having a return ticket could be used by them later to show that you don't live in Australia. This happened to me and was offered as "proof" of my non-residency. I can't see them knowing how many flights you do while you are away if you choose not to tell them, their information on your travel comes from you and Australian Immigration. When Centrelink declare you a non-resident they accumulate a body of evidence... no Australian ties, wife living overseas etc etc and they will add the "not having a return ticket" as well, but by the time they play that card you're usually screwed anyway. Just concentrate on keeping your ties to Australia.... see your family regularly, here's a list here... www.australianpensioner.org/residency.htmlOne of our members pays his Aussie kids school fees by direct debit out of his DSP, to my mind that makes him bullet proof. |

Australian Immigration will let you leave without a return ticket, they don't give a rat's arse whether you come back or not.

Good luck with that, I think most of us in your position will be going through it this year.

My situation is as follows. Left OZ in 2004 so my DSP has continued as I left before July1 2004. I made mention of my move in a phone interview that I was moving with my same sex partner as his Mother had cancer. I have now in 2012 received a 14 page income and assets form to fill in. It asks for my partner's income and assets. In 2004 this relationship was not recognized. This seems to have changed in 2009. I received no notice of this rule change. So I may be penalized for not declaring details, I was told when I left were irrelevant. Very ODD.

Gay rights groups campaigned long and hard for their relationships to be recognized so I suppose Centrelink saw the chance to save some money when it came about.
My advice would be to seek better advice, give Welfare Rights a ring and make an appointment... you certainly need a professional opinion if Centrelink is reconsidering the status of your payment over the last few years.
Let us know how you get on, did you live with your partner overseas or have you only shared a roof since your return?
If so they will only reconsider your payment since then.

meoverseas, welcome, like Banjo said contact welfare rights in your capitol city, also apply to C/L for your complete file under the FOI, once you get that you will be able to see what C/L have been doing & when dates etc.
