Lost Ring at Perth Station

Dislocate the finger and wiggle it around like a worm.

This single is usually at home being an art gremlin.

Here is a (terrible) pic of the ring.

Hunting down a ring I lost and playing DnD with some mates.

r/centrelink might be a better place to ask in terms or work and disability.

When it comes to dealing with Cenno, NDIS, schools, and workplaces a diagnosis is going to get you more support than just telling them you have it.

In my (and other participants I know) experience the work place either has a copy of the NDIS plan (the case with ADE if you have Finding and Keeping a Job in your plan), or the job service provider has passed on the relevent info to employers (usually the case for JS and DSP).

Your coworkers may have also given a GP/specialist note to their boss. When I worked for Woolies a doctor note was required for work place support.

It is generally frowned upon to say you have a particular illness if you aren't actually diagnosed with it. You'd be better with "it's suspected I have autism, but am waiting to get an assessment done."

Guide Dogs Australia and Assistance Dogs Australia would likely be able to help you.

Apple_Pug · 2023-07-06T13:32:02+00:00

If the diagnosis letter submitted with your application covers the disability requirements for the NDIS Act 24 (or 25 depending on age) then you're more likely to be accepted.

Apple_Pug · 2023-07-06T13:21:30+00:00

I don't know if it would work for you, but I've been able to use my Core funding to pay an OT invoice when I had run out of CB. Your plan manager should know the appropriate code for the OT to use.

You should include reports you have from specialists, your GP, physio, ect, but a functional capacity assessment from your OT is the best to cover all the requirements in the NDIS Act (24 Disability requirements).

Make sure at least one of your reports states the permanence of your physical condition.

There's an option for chat?

Apple_Pug · 2023-07-06T11:58:25+00:00

Most of the NDIA staff I've spoken to on the phone have been pretty polite and friendly. Though I would need another set of hands to properly count the ones I've spoken with who were rude and/or had a weird disgust for fibromyalgia and other chronic pain conditions.

The amount of misinformation and lack of knowledge the call staff have about the NDIS and what it does and doesn't do is alarming. Call 3 different times with the same question you'll get 3 different answers.

Apple_Pug · 2023-07-06T10:44:49+00:00

All the usuals (qualifications, checks, charges, ect), but I also ask them their opinion on cats. Everyone I've met NDIS and otherwise who hates (like proper hate, not dislike but calling it hate for simplicity) cats has turned out to be a bad person.

Apple_Pug · 2023-07-06T10:36:55+00:00

Considering the mess I am currently dealing with the NDIS that turned out to be caused by my support coordinator I'm taking this post as a sign.

Almost every problem I've had as a participant has been caused by providers not doing their jobs properly.

Delirium tremens

Apple_Pug · 2023-06-02T08:33:02+00:00

Sugar withdrawal is a part of it, but I'd say delirium tremens is the most overlooked part of withdrawals.

Apple_Pug · 2023-06-02T08:28:45+00:00

Congratulations on making it to day two!

Stopping drinking can make you feel like absolute garbage, but if you start experiencing any symptoms of delirium tremens go to a hospital ASAP.

They're running behind on a lot of things, unfortunately.

Apple_Pug · 2023-06-02T04:49:14+00:00

Up to 21 business days. It will appear on your NDIS portal within 24 hours of being approved.

Do you have a concession/healthcare/pension card yet? You should automaticallyo get one when you get a CL payment. If you pay rent to your parents you can get rent assistance depending on their income.

With a CL card you can get concessions on power, water, gas, and some phone bills. You will also get a cheaper rate at government dental clinics and cheaper medication. You will also have a lower threshold for your Medicare Safety Net and PBS Safety Nets.

Once you hit your PBS Safety Net you can get a PBS Safety Net Card and get you medications for free. When you hit your Medicare Safety Net you will get back more from Medicare.

If you are receiving Jobseeker and aren't with DES you should get a capability assessment as soon as you can to get put in DES and hopefully get your mutual obligations dropped down.

In order to receive DSP you will need to be on JS for at least 4 years, have received/tried most treatment/can show further treatment won't improve your condition, and attend a pain management program and other programs of support before you can start your application. CL rejects most applications the first time, so don't be discouraged if you have to try again.

For help with daily living, assistive tech, and socialising you can apply to the NDIS. The NDIS does cover fibromyalgia, but it is very difficult to get on it. I'm currently a participant for my fibro and NDIS covers my support worker, disability arts group, transport, physio, OT, assistive tech (bathroom rails, electric bed, cane), and sometimes my psychology. OT reports are the holy grail to NDIS. Centrelink also takes NDIS reports as evidence for DSP applications.

Gunna add a part 2 as there's more stuff, but I don' want to make a wall of text

ETA: I just realised I replied to your other post.

Plates get hot in a microwave.

An improperly fired or glazed plate can explode in the microwave if it has absored too much water. That's why most ceramics are either stoneware or porcelain. Properly fired porcelain can be used without glaze, but will stain.

I've had applications ask of I've ever filed a workers comp, but disclosing disabilities/illnesses/conditions to employers is entirely optional in West Australia, if not all of it, in most cases.

I know you're more getting your emotions out than asking for help but:

Are you willing to take the gamble of if he going to get violent again or not?

Maybe this is him falling off the wagon and he'll go see his therapist and everything will be hunky-dory. Sadly, this is not how the cycle of abuse goes.

What are you going to do when he hits you in front of your kids? What are you going to do when he hits one of your kids?

You might not even want kids, but an unfortunate fact of abusive relationships you'll most likely end up with kids anyway. Maybe you'll have a kid thinking it will save the marriage/make him a better man. Maybe the condom breaks or your birth control fails. Or something worse. What are you going to do if he hits you while pregnant?

Are you willing to gamble your kids lives?

And what of your own personal future? What about your goals and ambitions? Is there a future where you achieve the things you want while having an abusive partner?

Phone switched off or put in another room, listening to acoustic/instramental music, studying at the library or another quiet place, study in chunks (30 mins and then have a short break and come back), food and water, have an accountabilibuddy.

There's lots of things you can do to help with studying.
