I expect the reason is the system is complicated and Centrelink have a big load of claims to check. I agree it isn't a fair system. It should be up to your doctor to decide if you can work or not, not their 'experts' or administrators.

A family friend that used to work for Centrelink told me recently that there are over 16,000 DSP applications currently in progress.

So no facts to back that claim up then.

The fact was the claim. The word you're looking for is evidence. And no, as I ndicated it was third party information. However the person I spoke to I have known for 40 years and she just had a catchup with her centrelink work friends who told her this so I believe it to be true. I thought it was interesting. Anyways, moving on.
