Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

Hello @PeppiPatty, over here my special friend xx

Hello Everyone

Love to hear from others on the forum if you experience this

My hubby has been diagnosed with lots of things and has had MI all his life

do you find things goes ok and i start to feel confident and wanting to go forward and then everytime something always happens to upset it -- sometimes I think is it a controlling thing ?? that he wants to be in control ??

Don`t know if I am making this up , but i have that feeling ,

Lovely you are back on line @Shaz51

How is Mum doing?

Have you made up your mind re: applying for DSP? Will latest news re: kidneys have any influence on this?

My mum sounding more frail over the phone and getting more forgetful.

Now our visitors have left, Mr D tells me he might be happy to see the GP regarding his pain. He is still very upset about the dog.

Having to be the responsible one sucks Shazzle Dazzle, Mr Shaz would no doubt be quite relieved if you got on DSP and he/you are still able to do a little work to supplement this

@Former-Member

hugs

yes my mum is very frail and is forgetting things , don`t want to leave the house now only for the arm redressed but she hopes that is finished soon

Having to be the responsible one sucks Shazzle Dazzle ------ sooo very true and tiring as most days now mr shaz does not want to work anymore

hard to decide what to do sometimes with mum and mr shaz and myself

did you know that there will be no more new claims for centrelink`s sickness benefits

In response to: Re: Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

Re: Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

No @Shaz51 I didnt know that. But not really surprising as I know nothing about sickness benefit payments.

If you mean in relation to claiming in time to get the $750 stimulus payments which welfare recipients get, then I think the cut off date was 12th March? Not sure exactly what your comment was in relation to.

How are you this evening @Shaz51 , and your Mum and Mr Shaz?

Re: Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

no @Former-Member

from the 20th march no one will be able to claim for sickness benefits through centrelink

so sad that means we can not apply for sickness benefits a t all
