My Story

[AngelRomansMum]

I hate to vent in so much anger but i am getting sick of centrelink!!
First it was getting the bereavement forms off the hospital
My boyfriend and I werent told that he couldnt fill in his side of the form

So he did, then centrelink let us know that because we arnt considered partnered
We had to do it again, but they eventually changed their minds and let me cross out
All of my boyfriends side and put my initials, then they said all they need now is my
taxfile number,

ok so i ring the taxfile office about 2weeks ago, they give me a number
I didnt realize at the time it was only 8 numbers, but gave this to centrelink
They then send me a letter requesting the number again, i figured it must be wrong
So i had to ring the taxfile office again (which takes hours every time) and got the missing number,

i then call centrelink again (family assistance office) straight away to give them the correct number they said i could give it by phone, so i did, i asked if i was going to get hassled again or if that is it.. she said you have done everything, thankyou, thats all bye.

NOW today, they have the nerve to call my dad, this morning, to ask him for my taxfile number or to remind me to give it to them WHAT THE ???? i am so seriously P*SSED OFF!!! im SICK of dealing with this crap, i am NOT calling them again and then being hassled and having my dad hassled, i thought i had DONE EVERYTHING THEY NEED!

So my dads going to deal with them tomorrow, and let them know i have already given the number and if they need it, give it again, and that i DONT want to be hassled again.
Also, on the letter they sent me, it says the number needs to be given by the 19th June, if it isnt, then i have to lodge the whole bereavement form allover again, which means finding my midwife to sign it and everything,

so IM HOPING that when my dad does this it gets through, and they DONT need it again, because i am sick of this crap, i have enough emotional crap to deal with right now, and i just want to get the bereavement payments so i can pay for my sons headstone and a little holiday and MOVE FORWARD!!! i'm glad i got this off my mind, but i really am so angry with how long this is taking!!

If they try and hassle me for it again i am going in there and complaining about the whole thing because im not having it again.
