YYYYY is better off receiving a pension and contributing to her ACF accomodation costs than to have no pension and have free accomodation. It is the difference between keeping her house and selling it and ultimately a matter of life and death for YYYYY, it is that serious.
It is Centrelink's responsibilty to notify MyAgedCare who then calculate the DAC
yet it appears they either have not notified them
or the calculation has not been performed.
What makes this even more outrageous is that a
transcript of a conversation with Centrelink
reveals that the Public Trustee would have had to request "hardship provisions" from Centrelink
to be able to sabotage the financial standing of YYYYY as described above.
This can just as easily be remedied by them asking Centrelink to withdraw those hardship provisions.
On 20 July 2022 I went to Marrickville Centrelink to show them
the Tribunal's acknowledgement of the rental income
(a printout of information which is available publicly on the caselaw web site)
and yet the manager, XXXXX, refused to accept the document from me
or formally record that I have notified her of the anomally
because she says only the Public Trustee can act for my mother.
I pointed out that it is potentially welfare fraud but she merely gave me the phone number
for their fraud report line. Calling that number is pointless because
I filled out their online form a year ago about something similar but they never responded.
I then went to nearby Anthony Albanese's office who refused to deal with the matter
because they apparently do not deal with "legal issues".
