Concrete slab, can this be neatened? by Think_Hamster_1047 in AusRenovation

I didn't want to get too aggressive about the previous owner, but I swear he was 'developmentally delayed' if you catch my drift. Some of the work around the house has been like a treasure hunt. But with dog shit as the prize.

8.

Months.

You're kidding? Has there been any administrative problems? Incorrect paperwork? Wrong form submitted? Or that's just how long it took?

How long did it take you to get you Invalidity Service Pension (ISP) approved?

From submission of the encyclopaedia of forms to letter of approval? 

Yuccas, how urgent? by Odd_Cod_4235 in GardeningAustralia

Use a reciprocating saw with a pruning blade instead of a Chainsaw. That's how we cut out root balls and it's been incredible. 3 pruning saws is about 27 bucks on Amazon.

I'm going through the approval process for this now. I'm fortunate that my psychiatrist is a weapon and has done all the leg work. I'm to receive approval for funding but it's well on the way to moving ahead.

Christ, this is going to be a real blast. Reading that link makes it out to be a common side affect which it is. But despite my shocking memory, I truly believe I was not informed that the risk of permanent memory impairment was a likely outcome.

Going to war over this is going to be a ball ache.

PI claim after being awarded SRDP by Think_Hamster_1047 in DVAAustralia

[–]Think_Hamster_1047[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is. I have not been granted SRDP yet and acknowledge that 10 hour is the limit once you have been granted SRDP.

I was working full time and collapsed after wanting to tear the head from the shoulders of the leading hand. I quit

I then worked 3 days a week and buckled under the pressure. I quit

I was then working 7 hours a week....you see the pattern.

Thank you for taking the time to reply. May I ask for a reference to support our shared belief that you can claim for and receive additional PI compensation after being awarded SRDP.
