We're all hopefully aware that the DSP is allocated not due to the necessity of one according to need, but rather due to budgetary or political restraints. As such due to my rejection, despite medical recommendation. Why shouldn't I just go mental and start causing more damage monetarily than it would take to kick me to a corner and pay for my rent and food. That's all I want, to subsist at least. Is it so much to ask to exist?

Hello Anonnnn, maybe the government are just as confused as everybody else, not sure during these lockdowns as there are many people suffering from this virus and not sure whether the situation they are put in, is because of being locked up, or whether it's a genuine case.

It doesn't help you if you had been applying for DSP before COVID took control, I'm sorry.

I dont think the government is confused. They require a lot of evidence proving an ongoing ailment, and take a lot of time processing claims. I have found that in recent years when I have made an application, that at every point you are told that even if you deserve it you may not receive DSP. That wait times are massive and that essentially you have to put up with it. I think that the way this is done is wrong and lacking in compassion, especially given some of the stories I've heard from cases worse than mine.

Hello Anonnnn, you could try the Federal member in your area with copies of the doctor's reports.

Geoff.
