Tell us about your debt and how has this affected you? e.g. anxiety levels, financial and accommodation stress:
During the period of any paid work I notified centrelink and submitted payslips.
Online self service showed nil amount from Centrelink.
Also at the branch.
Then in early 2013 applied for TAFE and then received AUSTUDY after 6 months of entering TAFE.
I chose to learn and was applying for jobs but was unsuccessful.
How do you feel about the way the Government has handled this process?:
It's very stressful, heartbreaking, depressing and huge anxiety over a debt that is incorrect, unreasonable and unfair.
