04.05.2000 – Thursday 4 May – Dole problems

• I got a lift to town with David. I was supposed to do my Science test at 11am, but Ray Barrett got caught up in a meeting at the council, and it was 11:30 before he got back, I decided to do my test on next Thursday 11 May at 1:30pm.
  I got a letter from Centrelink:
  “Reference «edit»
  Mr Ned «edit»
  PO box «edit»
  «edit»
  28 April 2000
  Cancellation of your youth allowance.
  Your Youth allowance has been cancelled from 31 March 2000 because we have not received your Application for Payment form.
  You may now be entitled to a Low income Health care card. If you would like more information please phone us.
  (13 2490)”
  I phoned up the Commonwealth Bank # to get my last five transactions:
  «edit»
  I went and saw the Gungarde Centrelink officer. He filled out an application for the dole. I have to re-join from scratch as I have missed 2 complete dole forms, and 2 dole payments. They will probably want to know where I have got the money to live on in the interim period. All these problems are annoying.
  He stated that my current bank balance was $15.
