Tell us about your debt and how has this affected you? e.g. anxiety levels, financial and accommodation stress:
I have appealed part of debt as I somehow remembered having to report my income every fortnight while caring for my mother. I shortened my contract to fit in with their rules of allowing a respite time from a carer's payment. The other half of my debt, $2000.00 I do not remember so well and have paid them over $2000.00 !! Now I am wondering if I can appeal against this too. I just took it for granted at the time that they knew what they were talking about. I always did the honest thing though, so now I have doubts. Can I still do anything??
How do you feel about the way the Government has handled this process?:
Very, very bad, Is there anything I can do?
