“Just wanted to update on my daughter’s claim.
I posted last week that she’d had the JCA and it went really well. Well she had the sonic on Friday. And her payments appeared yesterday! So she’s been approved, and back paid to the date I submitted her claim in late December.
The guides provided here are a godsend! So, please use the resources that Mowse (Karen) has developed.”

“Well after 3 attempts at DSP I have finally been granted, and it’s purely because of this page the first 2 times I really didn’t know what I was doing… I cannot stress enough use the forms from this page for your Dr and Specialists, write your own report on how you are impacted and anyone you live with get them to do the same…
Mowse offers her services WHICH I USED, INVALUABLE, I believe her advice and knowledge got me over the line…
Please know that MH is approved for DSP and during you interviews if you have a meltdown let it happen, it’s just more proof of the very real struggle, please don’t give up, with the help of this page, Mowse (Karen) and other admins IT WILL HAPPEN… Good Luck & Thank you.”

“Without a JCA or Sonic I was approved this morning. I am in utter disbelief and in tears. I haven’t processed this properly yet. From the bottom of my heart  thank you so much for your help and support.
I am forever grateful for your help.“

I just want to say thank you to the admin that spend their time running this page in order to help all of us that need it.

I followed all the advice, read through everything carefully, and collated a massive stack of evidence using the specific wording and direct references to all the tables.

I submitted everything sept 14th, had my JCA 11th Oct and my sonic appointment a week later.

Tuesday my application approval came through (turns out it was delayed due to an IT error, it would have come through earlier)

I sobbed so much. The relief after so much struggle with my health and I live alone.

I am so very grateful for this page and for the admins that give their time to help us. Bless you all ❤️

Seven weeks from application to approval.

I would like to thank all the help and advice I have had from this page. Admins, your are legends!

A very big Thank you to Mowse and the Admin team for all their hard work with this page.

After initially being rejected in July and submitting my request for review I was advised that it is now APPROVED.

I submitted my initial paperwork prior to finding this group. If you are new I cannot stress enough look in to the files and follow the steps the team have set up. It is all there, all the information you need.

Thank you Mowse your were so kind and so helpful. I’m very thankful.

Admin team such a blessing.

The guides are brilliant – both the links and the documents. I particularly found the letter to GP useful, as did she – really easy to follow template to objectively describe the details of my health conditions. Great resource for my partner too who went through this whole process with me.

Woohoo my son just got approved for DSP. We had the sonic interview on Monday and today I logged in to his centrelink and found his claim has been completed and approved. We didn’t use a clinical psychologist for his claim. Surprisingly they accepted the report from a non clinical psychologist. First time applying and thanks to this group we were able to get approved first go. Thank you for all the help you offer in this group. Admins do a wonderful job

I justed checked my app and the new payment amount indicates I’ve been approved! 💐

Thank you admins for sharing your knowledge, and to everyone for their questions. I honestly wouldn’t have been approved if I hadn’t circled back to use the templates and pushed for my psychiatrist to apply the tables to them.

Good luck to everyone still pressing on 💛

I got approved! Thank you so much to all the admins for their tireless efforts to provide accurate information and help navigating this difficult system. I am so relieved my mental illness claim was approved first go, and it was definitely because I knew exactly what evidence needed to be provided, right down to the specific wording. Sending my love to anyone still in the process ❤️

Morning, I too would just like to say thankyou for your support. Officially DSP approved for me this week. Very stressful time to have to do it alone. I wish I had have come across your site sooner. Thankyou and good luck to all the others.

Hi Mowse! I don’t know if you remember me, but I’m a late-diagnosed autistic woman who you helped earlier this year to successfully apply for the DSP.

320 days from when I first lodged the claim until the day the money will be in the bank. 2 rejections from CL and 2 days off my last appeal with AAT. I was told a month ago I had been approved but only just now had it all confirmed. Dont ever give up. If I had simply put in a new claim, I would have not received the back pay…it was well and truly worth it. Keep on fighting if you really believe you’re entitled to it. Good luck everyone and thankyou to the ones responsible for this group ❤️

I have been approved!

I have not posted before, but Admin,I would like to let you know how much I have appreciated your work in providing all the invaluable information which can be found here. It certainly worked for me following your suggestions.

For those applying I wish you all the best. I found much patience and persistence was required!

“I wanted to thankyou so much for all the help you gave me, even just talking to me sometimes and reassuring me,………though it is a huge relief that it’s over now and I don’t have to worry anymore. I don’t think I would’ve been able to continue had I not had you there to fall back on, thankyou so much.I don’t really know what else to say, besides thankyou again for all your help I’m so very grateful

Kind regards Lesa “
