I am on the DSP. I went overseas and had an illness and could not return within the 28 day period. Centrelink lawyer Roula Allam rejected all the foreign medical records. Today I got an email that Centrelink advised they have my bank records. Ms Allam alleges as there was a transaction on my card at a London pub then i was fit to travel. Well, I used to give my card to my relatives who did do the food shopping and with my consent did sometimes go out to a cafe or a pub. But Roula Allam is basically accusing me of Centrelink fraud and just because there is a transaction on my bank card she insists, without any proof, that it must have been me at the pub.
I should not be blamed and accused of being a Centrelink cheat because I gave my card to my relatives. Every time they went to the supermarket, with my consent they had a meal or a drink with my consent. Does anyone know of any similar cases. A transaction on my card does not mean that I am the one who made it nor is is evidence that I was drinking at a London pub. Going to the supermarket of even joining friends/relatives at a public place is not the same as a 24 hour flight.
