Oh Bluecat I know and I understand its just a shame so many don't. With the issue of DSP cutiegirl I think it was was worried about her severely disabled child (forgive me if I mixed that up). I found the following for you:
Young people on the Disability Support Pension also face a crack-down. All DSP recipients under 35 who signed onto their pension between 2008 and 2011 (when tougher eligibility criteria were introduced by the previous Labor government) will be reassessed under the new, tighter system.
People with a ''severe or manifest'' disability will not have to re-apply, which appears to leave the way open for recipients with a mental illness to be reassessed.

It seems if I am reading it correctly that those with a manifest or severe disability will not have to go through reassessment. I hope that is the case. But its not good news for the others 😞
I am so upset about the PES esp when they are claiming they want people to access education. This will significantly impact us and means less therapies for the girls and we may need to re consider Tafe. As the cost to access it with petrol and fees is already stretching us, this payment made it possible. Back to the drawing board. Hugs to those feeling upset and struggling.
