I know absolutely NOTHING about getting the DSP or the Carer's Allowance. However, I know of one young couple with 3 sons, who live in Brisbane, who have both these Pensions. They are Rellies of a friend.
She (now 40) got the DSP about 5 years ago, mainly because she is "not well" (heart problems) caused by being MORBIDLY OBESE. Last I heard she weighed about 130 Kg (20 stone). This female is only about 5'2" (157 cm). She is absolutely HUGE.
Next I hear that her husband (now about 42) has the Carer's Allowance. Their sons are aged about 16, 14 and 8.
Oh, one "good" thing is that this couple sold their huge 4 bedroom, in-ground pool and etcetera place because they had to "reduce the Mortgage payments", so they "downsized" to another 4 bedroom, in-ground pool place in a different area and are still paying a (much smaller) Mortgage on their "joint" Pensions. So they are
not in Government accommodation! I figure they would be getting at least $1,000 per week (no tax) on these Pensions. Isn't that more than the so-called "average wage"?
I thought "the Government" was cracking down on people "under 35" who were on the DSP? This lot of Bogans just miss out and will live on the Aussie Taxpayer for the rest of their miserable lives.
What a way to show your children what being self reliant is and how to EARN A LIVING and not to rely on The Government for your subsistence .......
What's the terminology? ............. "Living LARGE" .... on The Government.
