...and another thing. Age pensioners have a lot more money than we do. My bank account statement would prove you are wrong in this case. I too, am an exception to the rule eight....

Just playing devils advocate for a moment, but can you imagine the smear campaign against any DSP political party by the majority right wing media in this country? Every taxpayer from doctors to burger flippers would be whipped into a frenzy because how dare those bludgers and rorters take MY tax money and expect to have a say in the running of the country. Yes imagine if us DSP organised a street protest l can just imagine the Murdoch news saying if we are well enough to walk a few hundred meters down the street protesting we are well enough to work.

It's hard to win, all you need for the Age Pension is a birth certificate.

Spot on bunyip. I can remember a C/L staff imbecile telling me I can't be disabled if I could get on a plane. He got promoted after that. Another one on my yearly return in those days; after i told him i was only back for two weeks told me that I now come under the new rules as I have come back peranently. He told me two weeks was permanent. Promoted also no doubt.

A couple of months ago I gave C/L a letter, with all my details, in writing, that I would be travelling o/seas on ?/?/?? and would be returning within 25 weeks. She said that my OAP would stop after 6 weeks. I tapped my ear and showed her my card that says I have a hearing disability, please put it in writing so I can see it. That is what she did .

Tell me one thousand times, And I still will not understand.
Show me in writing, Just once, And I will know.

Why would you have the Age Pension suspended after 26 weeks?

Why would you have the Age Pension suspended after 26 weeks? That was about 15 weeks ago. It was not stopped after 6 week, just another case of c/l talking shit. I have never once got reliable info off c/l, which is why I only communicate with them in writing.
