This is how it is for me. Last week I was told my impairment rating was censored. This week I was told it was missing. The matter was expedited and I was called back. It took 10 minutes to get a call back to be told that my impairment rating was now blank as I was classed as no future work capacity. No need to send to a JCA and the OFFICIAL conclusion that I am only going to deteriorate. Lol, well done, on getting them to admit it. I wonder if 'blank' is a new rating, or they made it up just in time for your call back.

I have been thinking about this, and I came up with some ideas, perhaps I can run these ideas past you folks, please tell me what you think. I have a proposal for publicising and raising awareness of the Human Right of Liberty of Movement of Disabled Australian People. THE VIRGIN GALACTIC SKY PARTYen.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virgin_galacticRichard Branson is a distant cousin of mine, and he also owns 20 per cent of Air Asia, and is good friends with Air Asia CEO Tony Fernandes. I intend to use my family connections to send him a letter describing my proposal. The Virgin Galactic Sky Party will take place during a suborbital space flight over South East Asia. Six lucky winners will be selected from the members enrolled in the DSPoverseas website. The Sky Party will be broadcast live on all of the Australian TV channels, and broadcast live worldwide on BBC and CNN. Cocktails will be served by angels. Simultaneously, Air Asia will offer a single FREE FLIGHT to 50,000 Australian Disability Support Pensioners, through a lottery open to all of the 800,000 DSPers (promoted in Centrelink Pulse, no less). And then further promotions, sales and discounts especially for Aussie DSPers. This will promote Air Asia and increase its customer numbers in Australia. As well as promoting the Human Rights of Disabled People. That is my glorious vision: hundreds upon hundreds of aeroplanes launching from Australia into Asia every day. Thousands upon tens of thousands of Aussie DSPers flooding into Asia every day. Millions upon millions of joyous moments created. Billions upon billions of dollars enriching the world. Trillions upon trillions of souls uplifted. Abigail, With respect I think you have lost all contact with the mother ship, but again, welcome aboard.

If I ever find the time and the inclination I'll go through the members list and work out how many board names abigail has on this forum. I suppose I shouldn't complain, anything that increases the numbers and the post count must be ok......
I think......

I think we have helped raise the general profile of DSP travelers with Centrelink. We've gone from a few nut cases to a group that is capable of getting attention in the halls of power. Our Senate submissions were considered along with those from Centrelink and Welfare Rights... like us or not, we're now hard to ignore. The purpose of this forum is to discuss members issues with Centrelink. While other topics may have some relationship to these issues I can't see much point in discussing them in any depth. There are other forums that welcome varied political points of view but I don't have the time to bother moderating them here. Such topics can be deleted without warning or explanation. OK Michelle, your on notice the same as your sister Abigale and the rest of your family. NOW get back on your medication.

I had welcomed Abigail to the forum BEFORE I had read her post about Richard Branson flying us all around the world.
While it is a nice idea, I really don't think he would go for it, relative of her's or not.
I didn't realise Abigail didn't want to come onboard our forum, but that she wanted us to come onboard her ship, and let the little green men take us for a ride.
Does unlimited portability apply to other planets? I wonder.

Forced to move home, before being assessed as being entitled to unlimited portability, if that law passes, and all that sort of stuff.

hey guys I checked in with c/l back in oz. Very polite and proffesional lady took my call so I asked her about portability and told her I wanted the forms sent out.
She really took her time and went through all her screens but nothing about july the 1st. She said that when the info arrives she will get a prompt on her screen when its official and it will be sort of automatic for those who qualify and she also said they are 'probably' pulling the DSP in line with the OAP regarding portability but i didnt ask her what she meant.
