I don't get an adjustment payment. I get the fortnightly carer allowance but didn't qualify for carer payment as they don't class the needs of a diabetic as high enough (even though it's a 24/7 job)
I know we get reviews every so often just to verify we are still eligible, but its not like she miraculously cures herself overnight.
I'm shocked your hospital didn't do it for you, ours did all the paperwork when doing the stuff for the NDSS.
The bonus payment at tax time I just get with my ftb arrears so not sure on its exact amount.
Definitely head into centrelink to get the payment - every bit helps (especially with the cost of pump consumables)
