Well i think hadyn is a reall asset to the world of PA.
and the thing i love about his posts is that he is writing as a sports fan, not a critic not some educated scientist, but a fan.and it's brilliant and it's fun and you know what if it's not your cup of tea, why not say your peace and leave it at that.

everyone using the services of winz should have the experience you had sofie. It's brilliant to hear that there are good people at winz who do care.

bit late on this but
Asking sickness beneficiaries to be examined by a total stranger to see if their story checks out (wouldn't you find it a little humiliating?)
invalids beneficiaries have to see a winz certified doctor every 2 years. If you disagree with the doctors decision you can ask to see another doctor. but if you are that ill for whatever reason do you have the strength to do that?
mostly no
But here's another part of the problem
the sickness benefit is design to only last s short while. if you are long term ill you are supposed to be on the invalids benefit, but that pays more than the sickness benefit and it also provides training grants.So many case managers don't even suggest that option to their clients who would be eligible.
Anyone with long term mental health issues should be on the invalids benefit, and they should also be receiving money to re train in something that they can do. but if you've got mental health issues dealing with winz is about number 1 on the list of things that make you worse.
I suspect also those of us unlucky enough to have far to much experience with WINZ are aware of how useless the current system is. We see it's flaws but we also see where it penalizes people so it evens out.
i know so many people who should have received help from their winz case manager but never got it. And only through advocates at places like dcm and the peoples resource center have these people been treated like human beings by winz.

either we were on the same flight or the jokes are the same on every single pacific blue flight.
either way the joke about picking you favouite kid did not seem to go down too well around me, the woman across from me complained to the air hostess who just stared blankly.

but i'm used to the quality that is Phill Liggett and Paul Sherwenas such i do know how to pronounce the names of bvoth the winner of the tour de France and the world time trial champion properly. Unlike our commentators
