I'm going to start this thread and pin it to keep all the new residency interview requests together. This appears to be the standard letter. Attachments:

I would be working out how often you attend a GP/specialist for treatment, tests and medications. I would add up how much that costs you in a third-world country, and how much that would cost in Australia. I would then tell Centrelink that I stay overseas as much as possible because I cannot afford to deal with my illness in Australia, even with them having to pick up most of the cost of that. Show them how much of a burdeon you will be to Medicare, and how little it costs you to deal with it yourself, o/s. If you are not seeking treatment for your 'disability', they have the right to kick you off DSP. So in staying there, you are seeking treatment, whereas here, you would not be able to afford to.  |

I did a Senate submission last year that went into that in considerable detail. I forget to mention burial cost savings, the government is spared the expense of a paupers funeral, in Thailand they just stack us up in the temple for the next mass cremation.  |

got back to oz last thursday
went to cl yeterday for oap concession card
Was told " no you are not a resident"
news to me but they insisted --even tho i was in oz-- it was matter for International
Made 4 phone calls over the course of two hours with numerous holds and disconection esp one deliberate from an extremely arrogant youth
Eventually they sent me back to cl who told me that " You rang Int on 2/2/12 and said you were married and living permanetly in thailand"
I denied saying the word permanent and said it was impossible to get perm res in thailand and my departure card was not marked ' leaving pemanently' and i was back anyway
They said i would have to appeal but after a while when i dragged up sec 7 (3) they agreed to assess me there and then under sec 7(3)
and 30 mins later i had residency again but only from 30/8/12
I will post more on this else where
More
Intersting point that came out of my residnecy interview was that having a car in oz seemed a big plus?
Howverer she did say that if i went abraod again soon they might reassess me
I pointed out that my circumstances would hardly be changed ' in a short time and they had been the same for 31 years' so how could they reassess me No comment
I will test this by leaving again next weekend after a 10 day stay

Chris, I think it might help you if you apply for your C/L file with FOI, once you are armed with this should be no more of this she said he said, If they claim you said something which was not true (They have been known to do this) you can then refer back to your file. This advice is not just for Chris but all of our members, Remember Centrelink is NOT your friend. Here is their web site. www.humanservices.gov.au/corporate/freedom-of-information/ |

It doesn't sound like you're in a good situation, bundyrum. But I can't figure out if you're in Australia or overseas.
We're here for you if you need support / advice/ whatever.

Good luck with that Bundy, have you tried contacting your member of parliament?
Threaten to go to the papers if you like, you never know.
Nothing ventured nothing gained.
