Can Centrelink do this?
My mum married a guy who says he cannot get Centrelink payments. He said he had a WorkCover accident 10 years ago. Got one and a half million dollar payout and said that he had to pay all of that to the hospital and the lawyers. Then Centrelink said that because of this they can't pay him for 10 years. Is this guy bullshitting if you get a payout? And have to pay that money to hospital and lawyers which I thought WorkCover would have paid can they just say you're not getting paid for 10 years? Is this guy lying to my mum? I know he can work. I’ve seen him with my own eyes. My mum is leaving everything to this guy (which she was left 1.2 million by her father and shared it with her brother) and he’s only six years older than me and I’m 52. I’m bloody 52 and she’s 73. I’m on a full disability pension for years i’ve been on and has cut me out dies. I’m disabled myself so I worry that I may never see anything in fact I’m sure I won’t. I also worry that that sounds selfish but this guy has just come into the family about four or five years ago shotgun weddings my mum and this is my mum’s fourth rodeo and has just bamboozled my mother to the point that she totally cut me disabled son out of her final wishes. Does that make me a bad person? Cause if it does then I’m bad because fucking mad. I’m mad I spent $40 grand getting her away from her third “Gonna need that wedding dress drycleaned again” bullshit, and this guy (Greek)now I have what 20 years of him living it up rent free doesn’t pay bills can work under the table like I said I’ve seen myself, that my grandfather worked for, and I’ve got no family member that wants to help me because it was a such a shock from who I was too who I went to in literally 20 seconds that didn’t don’t know how to handle it, which is, understandably, of course a reasonable course of action. because I’ve been on the DSP for almost 20 years now, been homeless etc I drift between share houses because I try and get some change of scenery and the family just don’t answer the phone anymore and if they do they say “Yeah we were just thinking about calling you”I don’t blame them. It’s just hard, you know. homelessness and hopelessness and pain…chronic pain is a terrible affliction that I’d wish on no one.( I’ve got a really fucked up family as well,… TL;DR.) So let’s cut to the chase here. Am I a being a prick for being completely devastated by this and am I being selfish for being furious and am I the one in the wrong?
And, what the hell can I do about it apart from sweet FA?
