You don't have to go that far. I once reported an atrocious woman in Centrelink to her manager....in writing....and next time I went to that office she wasn't there anymore.

Personally I would be speaking to a federal mp and the complaints line about the behaviour. I have exited a program of support on medical grounds, if this is something you want to pursue there is a specific form to fill out, but you will need a job provider to be involved to complete it. Check if your participation hours are 0-7 or 8-14... If you are under 35 it would make a lot of difference. If it is 8-14 the job provider would be able to request you attend a job participation meeting, if 0-7 they wouldn't be able to. What is the easiest way to find out this information about participation hours? Is this PP interview something that is likely to happen to all on DSP? And what is the point of it? OH i so want to find a way to survive without their payments.....this stuff causes me so much dread and anxiety- the power they have over my life and my mental state is disabling even more than I could have ever realised.

Mspurple - if you have a job provider they should be able to tell you what your benchmark hours are.
If you are over 35 and have been assessed under the 2012 tables it's less likely you would get reviewed unless you had a change of circumstances (ie starting work for more than 15 hrs a week, applying for UP)
While anyone on DSP 'can' be reviewed the more stable you are the less I believe it is likely.

Thanks tasjo I do not have a job provider as I was exited from the POS and I have not heard from them since..... I also can not remember seeing anywhere on the paperwork after the AAT hearing how many hours I was rated at

If you make a FOI request for your file you can get a copy of your job capacity assessment (JCA). It should tell you how many hours Centrelink thinks you can work.

Participation Plan requirements are only for those under 35 who have at least 8 hours work capacity.

My JCA was done well before my AAT hearing and I was told I could work and there was no way I was going to qualify to get DSP, so, I am guessing that considering they were trying to send me for jobs I could not do - the foi will give me the same incorrect hours the AAT overrode to give me DSP and they will not reflect the hours my doctor or the AAT believes I am capable of doing.

Probably the same as mine mspurple, sorry, I remember your schamozzle now... I think my jca would be fairly similar because my DSP was granted at AAT level 2 as well.

Don't forget you have an option to change incorrect information they have on you. I read that somewhere. Cheers bear
