OOPS : They did it again.More incompetency.

Received the following letter just recently : another typical Centrelink screw up. The Tax Declaration they speak of was in relation to a part time job I had in 2006 , and finished in Feb. 2007. They have a letter of termination from the employer : yet STILL can't work out that the Declaration was made in 2006, NOT 2007 !!

It's painfully obvious that there are some real dumb bastards working at Centrelink : so once again, I had to make a 104 Klm round trip to present my paperwork at their Sorell Office or face being suspended from benefits until I did. Welfare Agency they are NOT : they cause more grief and hardship than they're worth, and all because some mongrel is too lazy to get off their azz and check the facts !!

Meanwhile, their bald headed "mouthpiece"Hank Jongen is on the radio the other day raving about how efficient they are !! Jongen should be fired, and then sued, for his continual LYING and MISLEADING the public !!

Dear Mr Cleveland
Request for Information
To make sure you are receiving the correct payment, Centrelink checks its records with information the Australian Taxation Office receives from employers.

A recent check with the Australian Taxation Office shows that you signed a Tax File Number Declaration Form . We are writing to ask for your help to make sure that you are receiving the correct rate of Disability Support Pension.

To make sure that you are receiving the correct rate of payment, we need to confirm your employment details. Please call The Review Team on 1800 256 811 about this request by 17 October 2007. If you are outside the local call area, you can call and reverse the charges.

To be able to correctly assess your payments, we need full pay details for all employers that you are working for, from the date you started your employment. You can do this by providing either in the form of payslips, or a copy of pay details signed by your employer(s). If you are unable to provide enough details, we may also need to contact your employer(s) to confirm them.

If you choose to provide payslips or a copy of pay details in person, these documents and a copy of this letter can be taken to your nearest Centrelink Customer Service Centre.

If you do not contact us by 17 October 2007 your payment may stop. ( Even though it's your DUMB ERROR ? )

This is a request for information made under section 63 of the Social Security (Administration) Act.
If the information we receive shows that there is a change to your payment we will write to you again to let you know.
Yours sincerely
A R Prouse
Customer Service Officer
