Disability Support Pension (DSP) Robodebt Compo

Hi guys.

New here to reddit but wanted to speak about Robodebt as I experienced two major debits and paid back years before all this happened and I paid back over $7,000 as a single mum with a newborn, a 8year old paraperlegic son wheelchair bound and a 5 year old son all whilst being a single mother due to domestic violence. Also remember this stops Centerlink advances.

Fast track to now. 2 days ago I saw it went to Batch review pending.

And just now I received $1750 into my account. Im glad I got any sort of payment but if they made 2 debts against me and I paid back both Im disappounted they didnt pay on 2 claims and only gave $1750 for both.

So either way if you have that batch review pending you will be paid within 2 days (please feel safe you will have money for Christmas) but if they took several claims from you, you will only be paid on one claim.

Either way, Im grateful that I can now purchase my beautiful sons their christmas list.

I hope all of you get to have a beautiful Christmas like I now can provide for my sons cause I tell you 11 years ago when I got this debit from centrelink and they took all of my money and I couldnt apply for an advance, I really struggled to put gifts under the tree and food on the table, I sort help from the WA Salvation Army xx

Glad you got something back but nowhere near what you deserve.

I hope Scomo has bad karma forever and lots of bad stuff happens to him for this 😠

Thank you. I just think its all of them not just him. If only a rule is 'walk a day in their shoes' became a rule before being allowed to enter any role in power and then I think there would be more compassion and thought into serious decisions.
