Centrelink not accepting medical certificate from hospital.
UPDATE - I called the hospital and they re-issued my 2 previous medical certificates as one Centrelink Approved Certificate. So I now feel less stressed about it.
So this is more of a vent than a question. I recently had some surgery, and centrelink are refusing to accept the certificates from the hospital, even after I was told by Centrelink that the certificates from the hospital would be sufficient because they dont provide Centrelink specific certificates.
Yesterday, I recieved an online letter stating that my certificates are not accepted because they are not Centrelink Specific Certificates. I just got off the phone trying to explain the situation and she just waffled off the exact same thing as what the letter said.
I am currently on hold with the hospital to see if they can re-issue the certificates as official Centrelink ones, as my GP is on holidays till next week and that will be too late.
All I want to do is scream!!!
