I have been on DSP since about 2000. I had two or three reassessments between it being granted and 2012. Since I did that portability application I haven't been called in for a reassessment. It's been nearly 10 years. When did you apply for Portability thebruce? Do you have it. Apologies if I have missed something. 10 years ago?

I told centrelink of my travel dates and they said it was too long and I would be cut off unless I did a new assessment. Went through the process and was granted. I haven't heard anything from them since regarding any new assessment.

information tends to come in in dribs & drabs. The doubt held by the OP's medical professionals was only revealed in their last post. Sounds like you need someone to help read between the lines, almost like an Oracle.π It's only you who sees a 'go for it' attitude bandwagon !! Perhaps it's something to do with your disability because, that just doesn't happen on this forum. Posters lookin for advice on applying for portability are always advised of the possible consequences of making rash decisions and applying before they've got their ducks in a row; as you'd well know if you've read the thread. We do have an oracle behind the scenes, who does read between the lines and, they'll be in touch if they ever need any help from you, of that I'm sure. It was a nice attempt at gaslighting the thread btw, making out "the consensus here has been "go for it" when applying for UP" was my quote, however, any further attempts at such tomfoolery may result in regular sanctions. Cheers π»

Cheers π» You're correct I was being a dick and I apologise for being and trying to be a smartass. I wouldn't have known you could get a copy of JCA if it wasn't for this forum, I should be contributing not being antagonistic. Thanks for putting up with me and also giving me a well deserved tap on the shoulder.

Hi Everyone Happy New Year! Thank you all for your help - In the end I decided not to apply for UP, because I wanted to work part time. This leads on to my next query - "working while being on the DSP". I have so many questions and Centrelink hasn't picked up my calls in 3 months, and the internet has highly inconsistent information on how everything works. 1) Is the DSP taxed as assessable income? does an exemption apply? 2) If you are working part time, does the exemption still apply? 3) Does the DSP contribute towards your Tax Free Threshold? 3) What is the impact of working on your eligibility to receive rent assistance and pension supplements? 4) If I need to report money that I received earlier, is there any way to go back and retrospectively report it? Do you have any advice about working while on the DSP? Many Thanks, Hopeful Harry

Income will affect all of these but if the income is low enough it won't have an impact. Note that working while receiving the DSP will likely result in a review for DSP eligibility earlier than later. If you are working 15+ hours a week, that is a good indicator that you should not be on the DSP in the first place. Another thing to consider is that if you do start working, it would likely preclude you from a successful indefinite portability application, because you must not be capable of work at all to get IP.

Hi Genx, Thanks for your prompt reply. I recently received the DSP in January 2023, which means I was approved with the newer/more restrictive standards - so why would working while receiving the DSP likely result in a review for DSP eligibility? You're able to work up to 29 hours per week and receive a prorated/reduced pension amount for working. It seems that the system was designed to allow people to work part time while receiving the DSP to make ends meet if possible. Cheers, Hopeful Harry

Hi Genx,Β Thanks for your prompt reply.Β I recently received the DSP in January 2023, which means I was approved with the newer/more restrictive standards - so why would working while receiving the DSP likely result in a review for DSP eligibility? You're able to work up to 29 hours per week and receive a prorated/reduced pension amount for working. It seems that the system was designed to allow people to work part time while receiving the DSP to make ends meet if possible.Β Cheers, Hopeful HarryΒ I am not saying that you will immediately be reviewed for working 15+ hours per week. What I am saying is that someone in these circumstances would be on a priority list for review. The DSP is for people that have a job capacity of less than 15 hours a week. If you can work 15 hours a week, and sustain this amount of work, that is an indicator that you aren't disabled enough to continue to qualify for the DSP. This is what a review is for; to check if your disability is at the same level as it was previously. You are "allowed" to work 29 hours a week on the DSP. But if a review comes up, and it will in time, it won't matter what your specialists claim your work capacity is when you've proven without doubt that your work capacity is over 15 hours a week. "It seems that the system was designed to allow people to work part time while receiving the DSP to make ends meet if possible" - alternatively, the system was designed so that people that are not disabled enough to continue to qualify for the DSP self disqualify. To retain the DSP, you just meet the prerequisites and continue to meet the prerequisites.
