Centrelink will vary greatly from office to office, if you get snubbed off at one, go to another office and deal with a different person, eventually you might be able to get someone who cares.

Just don't dig up lots of trouble, because all it takes is word to spread around and then all your applications are just going to get passed from office to office to deal with and around in circles it goes, oldest Centrelink trick in the book.

Also you won't have your disability pension taken away from you because its not a requirement for you to go looking for work on a disability pension, you are on a disability pension on the basis that you can't do any paid work at award wages of at least 15 hours per week and have a impairment rating of at least 20 points which in this case seems that this girl may have an impairment rating of 20 points.

I suggest you go to Centrelink before you tell somebody that they won't get their entitlement. Did she get anything in the mail telling her she will lose her entitlement?

Words from the horses mouth, Dad works at Centrelink.

What I think what may have happened is that they encounted the usual spaced out Centrelink desk jockey, who relies 100% on the computer to calculate everything for them, what happens is they put in a wrong number somewhere, then the computer cancells their payments based on the new (wrong) figure.
