I'm so mad and upset
I lodged a claim for benefits back on January 29 and they sat on it, "processing" it
and just today they told me it was rejected, and did not tell me why at all

@lizardsquid I don't think they should be able to do that? I think they have to tell you why they rejected it, like if you didn't meet the requirements for the means test?

@Tarale well, they are sending more details....... in the mail

@lizardsquid This sounds like bullshit. Centrelink bullshit.

@lizardsquid Ahh, so they can send you over to the self-service computers and telephones! God they are fucking useless. On purpose, I (cynically) suspect.

@lizardsquid You're welcome! I hope they can help. Centrelink are really… really… really… awful. Husband and I (mostly him because I've been doing baby stuff) have been working on some Centrelink related stuff for a while and oh mannnnnnn so bad so bad so bad
