Tell us about your debt and how has this affected you? e.g. anxiety levels, financial and accommodation stress:
I started my employment after feeling recovered enough from my depression, and anxiety after doing a few work for the dole programs and reported what I earned correctly (as far as I know)....my mind was all over the place at the time and I told that to my employment consultant but they said I would be fine and centrelink would notice if I was making any mistakes (which they didn't)

They could of done I alot better...like not taking a year to inform me of a debt that in turn sent me spiralling into the depth's of despair and depression I thought I had worked my way out of
