  • Psychiatrist Dr Tanveer Ahmed says many people who receive disability support fear losing their payments if they enter the job market.
    Dr Ahmed said some critics of the NDIS are those who are “suffering the disability themselves”, particularly those on the autism spectrum.
    “The reality is, they might’ve had trouble working, they’re lacking confidence," he told Sky News host Chris Smith.
    “There’s so much risk for them because if it doesn’t go well straight away, they can lose their payments and they can be in real trouble.”

    The business sector isn’t set up for people who are disabled or chronically Ill. With a chronic unstable chronic condition you never know when your going to get sick

    Most people who wont work have been mentally abused or overworked at previous jobs. And like the guy said doing some jobs with be socially embarrassing and looked down upon.

    One of the issues is that your average employer don’t want to take on people with disabilities.

    Welfare should just have an assets test not required disabled so disabled can work without losing everything, made homeless and murdered.

    Anybody who really wants a job can get it, hey? I don't think he's being very realistic. He doesn't have a clue. Yes, there are some people milking the system. But there actually legit cases. I used to be an apprentice until I was in a pretty intense car accident. After my rehab and therapies I tried to enter the workforce again. My balance is very off, I have a poor memory and my knees ache. I tried to get jobs I could physically do successfully (like something seated where I could have tasks written in front of me) like call centre work. Nothing has happened (yet). I've done some cleaning jobs but they were painful. I've got a pending application with TSA. So yes I want and I'm trying - but jobs don't magically happen for those who desire them. It's not that simple. But, of coarse it's easy for an able bodied person to criticize when he has no lived experience, just a uni degree and able bodied life experience.

    I am on the Autism Spectrum and receive the DSP. I also have fibromyalgia, avoidant personality disorder and rheumatoid arthritis.
    About 10 years ago, I wanted to try and enter a sheltered workplace, working at Greenway Employment (part-time so I could still keep the pension).
    It was said to me that I would need to have my DSP reviewed before I could do that.
    I didn't want to rock the boat or give anyone a reason to go poking around and so I went "forget it".
    I prefer to stay "under the radar"....when you are on a good thing, stick to it.
    It is also the same reason why I haven't applied for a disabled parking permit..
    I refuse to be interrogated for something I can just as well do without.

    Dr Tanveer Ahmed was fired from several publications for plagiarism and dropped from white ribbon as an ambassador because of his beliefs. This conversation has no merit and no actual facts.

    We need training. Perhaps instead of funding employment agencies (which give s **t courses and no help) pay employers to train a certain amount of new staff per a year or 3. We need to encourage more companies to employ full time work.
    And second my husband has been handing in his resume everywhere, filling out online offers, No one rings him back. He really wants a job cleaning, waiting, store assistant. His able to work morning, noon and night. Available 7 days a week. Even told someone he willing to scrub the toilet with a tooth brush.
    Only draw backs is his 30 years old, limited work experience and doesn't have a licence. His working on that right now, we have a car, where we used to live had heaps of transport was no need for a car. We moved from city to rural.
    His had an offer except it was a scam place wanting him to pay $400 for the interview. We tried to research company but nothing came up. So we were suspicious before hand.

    Had a Heart attack with stent 4 yrs ago and it's not about that anymore cause I'm on tablets that have side effects worse than the attack itself. My body just will not adapt to the medications or the list of side effects I cope with. Can say that's not a cure but some other problem now. Good luck with getting this 58 year old another job. You gonna take the personal risk of forcing another attack on me. Might have a stroke or a proper heart attack next time around. Good bye soon cruel world.

      Im sorry for the ignorant comments of other people who vomit "force them to work" and the like. Im really sorry. And thats why liberals take advantage of this and so win many support from disability.

    Disabled people should not be paid on the same level as the Old Age pensioners...Simply because they haven't contributed as taxpayers long enought to fund their comfortable existence and even to be allowed to run their own businesses on Public Housing estates.

  • @justinalexich4111

    You have to go to Public Housing estates where many Disability pensioners live... Many of them are allowed by the government to run their own businesses from the Public Housing apartments. If these so called "Disabled people" can work from Home on their own computer, or be fit enough to repair other peoples cars in the local parking lot... They should also be forced to look for work and put on the Dole.

      @@SammySlamma92 Couldn't have said that better. I struggle with severe anxiety, depression, OCD, tourette syndrome, ADHD, as well as physical issues like asthma and a herniated disc in my neck. That dude wouldn't even make it one day with even just one of those things. Yeah, there's definitely some disabilities such as mine that may ease up enough for a short time to allow an odd job here and there, but you never know when a severe episode will strike and destroy that capability for an unknown amount of time. What many people don't seem to consider is that every single person in this world is just ONE unexpected health incident away from becoming jobless, homeless, and permanently disabled.

      @@SammySlamma92 ...You're talking rubbish. We're talking here about Disability pensioners who don't seem to be Disabled at all to work in a market economy. In other words they're bludging on government welfare.They should not receive Public Housing accommodation at a hugely discounted rate. Public housing was meant to be for people on Aged pensions, and for Disabled people who cannot work in any capacity. When you work in Public housing appartments you create all sorts of problems for other tenants who want to live in peace.
