Hi Immiadvice, congratulations for getting your UP only one year after it became operational. Can I ask you one question or two. When you applied for UP, did you have to undergo another JCA assessment under the post-2012 Impairment Tables? Basically what I want to find is whether your DSP was granted pre-2012 or post-2012. Thanks and regards. Simba

Yes Bear, you may be right that you are "99.9% certain we have members with UP who have been away more than five years without having had to go through a review". Given the fact that UP was introduced in mid-2012, it has been in operation for ONLY the last five and half year. As Pady says about CL staff "The left hand ✋ doesn't know what the right ✋ is doing down under" that its true many staff including those at Smart Travel in Tasmania do not understand much about the legislation. The good news I have just learnt today is that there forum members with UP and can go and leave overseas and come back n the country leave again without their UP being affected. That is good to know. But what would be interesting to know from those with UP, when they return back in Australia, are they able to access PBS (medications), or if renting renting assistance, or electricity subsidy!!! Cheers Simba

My guess, Immadvice, in relation to UP status is five years because this is the number of years which is usually stated that the applicant will remain with a continuing incapacity to work for five years. In my circles I have no one who has been granted UP to find out. I tried in vain to contact a couple of guys (Jason Sauer ([2017] AATA 300) and Jason Stojanovski ([2014] AATA 466)) who were granted UP because of their involvement in sports and voice over business which meant they traveled regularly overseas for longer periods of more then the prescribed portability period of 4 weeks. Chears Simba
