@CheerBear what you are feeling is similar to how I felt about getting NDIS approval so I understand it.  It's like the end of a struggle but the start of a new, potentially scary, phase of life.  There will be an adjustment period.  There will be change.  There is the unknown vs. the known you  have been used to.

When I first got the DSP I was mostly just relieved as it was more than the Sole Parent Pension plus Carer Allowance that I had previously been getting.  But I was still also very nervous about learning to work with a new budget and a new system of reporting requirements etc.  

As I said, sitting with you and hoping you can feel my support xx Heart
