This is my last semester at uni and I’m due to graduate.
Am I supposed to have received any invitation to the graduation ceremony or anything like that by now?
Someone at UWA told me you have to register for graduation, is it like that at Curtin.
I’ve been receiving carer payment for about 3 years, but I’m starting to think maybe I wasn’t eligible.
I take care of my dad and his condition is genuine and nothing dodgy there.
However I think that him and my mum would have been over the assets test for his age pension. The requirement for Carer Payment is that the care receiver is receiving an income support payment, or their assets don’t exceed $880,000 which I think it would have.
So if he wasn’t supposed to have age pension does that mean all of my carer payment has to be paid back??
I’m very worried I didn’t know this at all, since he got the age pension no one ever asked me about his assets. I’m not sure what to do. They’ve paid me almost $90,000 I think.
I was completing a weekly practical that was due today in class and it required to calculate something and you get a final answer. I was just with the UC who explained to me how to do this in detail, so I go back to the workshop and attempt it myself.
Then I ask the tutor if they can confirm if I did it right because I genuinely want to know if I’m learning and did it correctly.
They’re just like erm you should’ve come last week when we were still doing this practical we’re only marking it today.
But there’s no one else in the room except me, it’s not like they’re busy, isn’t the whole point of uni to learn, really ruined my day because I just wanted to verify if I’m doing it correctly. To top it off they left 30 minutes before the end of the workshop.
I have an extension as well so it’s not like it was due that day for me either which they knew.
