Hi Everyone,
Thank you for those who gave advice last time (Link is at the end of the post)
I got myself a DSP advocate from TASC who has been helping me get everything together and get requests for information sent out. It's been a little bit stressful, but not too bad – Until now, but we'll get to that in a bit
First off, I was advised to try and keep my current GP for my DSP claim unless she absolutely refused to help after showing her information that showed that I had been unable to work previously. So I printed out the last 25 of my payslips from my last job in 2022, showing my amount of hours going from 30 per week to 0-5 per week by the end of it. I also showed her the Impairment tables and showed her the wording on those tables. This somehow convinced her to help and she said she will write a full report and do her best to help and that it wouldn't cost me anything. Yay!
Now for the bad news. I've been pretty much unable to do anything for this past week, so didn't see an email from the hospital saying that the medical reports and scans etc from my specialists had been put together and where ready for collection. They're asking for $155.82 X2 because the specialists wrote letters for me, however, I wasn't aware of this when requesting said documents. I know that the letters will be very helpful in my application, but they also won't give us any of the scans or reports of scans until I've paid this bill.
I wouldn't be asking for these reports if I had money to spend though?
This is almost the same issue as last time, except more stressful. I don't have $310 laying around, and when I asked about it, they said they could help by putting it on a payment plan of what I could afford, and then give me the documents after I've finished paying it off. Right now we only have about $4-6 each week leftover, but I use that for gap fees on GP appointments and psychology appointments, plus it would take me a year to pay it off with that amount still!
If anyone has any ideas, please share them. I'm lost and out of ideas. (For the record, TASC has said they don't pay for that sort of thing)
Tl:Dr – Hospital wants $310 for specialist letters and medical reports before giving them to me. I don't have any money, help.

For the gp appt gap have you tried using your healthcare card (request from Centrelink) I use mine to cover the gap/ get rid of the fee the only snag is that I have to make the appts within certain times and days. Maybe this could help?
