Sonic Health appointment for my Disability Support Pension application is on Monday.
I know it's not a common point of failure but I've been dreading it since they booked it. What if I fuck it up? The dread is problematic. Haven't been able to focus on anything. Just want it to be over and done with. Even a rejection before this step would have been easier.
It's totally okay to feel anxious. Try to breathe deep and slow, it'll be okay. Be honest and it ought to work out.
Im sorry you're stressed out right now. Sending good vibes friend
It's very rare to be rejected at this stage. Centrelink have already decided you have 20 points in one table, they're largely just confirming it. Usually it's a very short call (<10 mins) with an outcome in 6-8 weeks.
That's what I've heard. But I also have a friend who was rejected at this stage due to the "not fully diagnosed, treated, and stablized" thing. That has changed to reasonably treated now I guess, so maybe that won't be an issue.
Yeah, that is a single data point though. You've got this. :)
