I have a Centrelink assessment tomorrow for DSP. I'm totally freaking out.

Hey @Scream58 i don’t really have any useful thoughts for you, but do you have a support person to go along with you?
id been keen to hear back from you as to how it went and what was involved.
I put in a claim back in April for dsp, I had a 5 min phone call with a psychologist in hmm September I think and then they approved it. I was told by my support worker that I’d need to have an assessment with a psychiatrist but I didn’t. I did provide a heck of a lot of support documentation though.
wishing you all the best!

Hey @Scream58
From personal experience with Centrelink in the past, I know that frustration, disappointment, stress, and anxiety can play.
Having a plan in place to cope afterward (if things don't go right) can help!
Wishing you all the best for tomorrow.
Please continue to keep us updated.

I haven't been here for so long. Good news is my DSP was granted in Dec 2023.

Hi @Scream58
Very happy to hear that you're DSP has been approved, makes a nice change hearing that our system does work and that there are some caring people in it. The approval must have put a smile on your face, so spread that smile around today. All the very best 🙂
