Mate, we are not specifics people, all you are going to get is a load of opinions based on experiences.
why don't you ring Centreline or use the email contact on their website?

My first thought was to say that c/link aren't specifics people either. my second thought is for a few members email them and see how consistent the responses are. If they are consistent we have an answer, if not we have some thing to put to hank. It could be a way of getting to the bottom of other issues as well. |

Jelly, this might be the specific answer you are asking for. If you were granted offshore DSP due to a Social Security Agreement with another country you are entitled to be a resident in, and you have been travelling willy nilly anywhere, Centrelink now demands you provide a "Certificate of Residency" for that other country. No you are not allowed to travel more than 6 months outside your Agreement country residence.
Meaning: tell them nothing. As for your alleged 5 years review, there is no logic to their review call up, so ignore that providing you have a postal address or online mail facility they can contact you by. Just make sure you keep a "residential" address in your Agreement country that is good.
Kapisch?

The last, and I think the only time I used it, I ended up talking to an officer who gave me a load of dodgy info on portability and when I queried it admitted she worked for Centrelink Online Services and referred me to Centrelink International and put me through. |

thanks for all the input everyone
baranghope seems nearer to what im talking about ...i should make it clear i got my dsp in australia and decided to go to an agreement country since they were giving me hell about coming and going every 13weeks for over five years....going to an agreement country seemed like the only way to get them off my back
when still a resident of oz on dsp and travelling back and forth on the 13week turn around i was subject to a five yearly medical review so ...since i left after the last one and before the next one would normally become due....i dont know what is going to happen now that im overseas...
i hope i make myself clearer

to jelly,hi an welcome.do you have a letter about your reveiw?if not dont assume that they want to give u a reveiw mayb?? i think that mayb in the rules it sez if you stay in aust 6 months your position might change with your portability,a short visit should be ok in my eyes but i could be wrong but if whilst in aust an they contact you that is where it could be important as to what you say to them?? i think have a look on there website for info ragarding your position,i do remember reading about it somewhere?? i hope i havnt confused you but this is all only in my opinion.

Are you sure they will review you, l don't think they review everyone after 5 years, l think some people have gone 10 years without a review |

When they granted me dsp ,I assumed I would be reviewed after 2 years because to get dsp the doctor's report said I couldn't work for 2 years. It didn't happen, I asked centerlink and they said it doesn't happen after 2 years. Then i spoke to my doctor and he said people get reviewed all the time. I am going to assume that I could be reassessed anytime. The higher score you got,the less you might worry, maybe.
I just patted my sleeping dog and now he wants to do something, should have let him lay.

Yes l got mine in 2008 and l haven't been reviewed yet, l don't know how they work out when they review it, some get reviewed 2 , 5 or 10 years l think or maybe the computer just chooses people at random. What l'm worried about is when l get reviewed it will be under these stupid tough new tables they bought in 2011, so even though my medical problems have not improved since 2008 l could still end up losing my pension. |

@frugle jellyThere is no legal requirement under the Social Security Act nor its regulations nor under the Social Security Administration Act for anyone to attend 1, 2, 5 10 or, death bed interviews. Jelly, you may be under some 5 year review internal Centrelink review process.... but its normal... they have to do reviews. And Frugle..... the fact is... no matter which way people twist it... you are either elligble to be classified as disabled or not... that's it. There is no problem being classified under the 'new' rules unless someone is pulling a scam... that's all... |
