Re: Job seeker cut off during hospitalisation

hi @Ru-bee having been through similar , - and before I was on the dsp i had a lot of issues keeping both jobseeker and then my job due to hospital admissions.

Although this is theoretical, sometimes its feels a bit saviorish for ppl to suggest they understand these things as peers when they talk about it from the outside.

Some members here i would imagine have experienced poverty, homelessness or been on jobseeker - let's remember, if its possible and we can try put ourselves in ppl's shoes, that this is real. i do not think personallly that any of what is shared here is unusual or exceptional - there is a tendency unfortunately to push ppl off supports and be beaurocratic and sometimes the only advocates we have are peers - each other.
