We had sold our house so we could travel new zealand but the hospital brought this to a stop. We stayed at a empty section while we reorganised our lives doing day trips to doctors and hospitals. The cost of drugs and trips to hospital drained our resorces. As I was on strong blood thinners I went to the doctor to get a sickness certificate as no one would employ me because if I recieved a cut or internal injuries I would bleed out, I can’t blame employers for this as OSH would have a field day fining them for failing to keep employees safe.
I took the certificate to work and income they looked at my bank accounts and said i had to line up for the dole. We had less than $30,000 to last 3 years when i get the pension. Yet i have seen others get handed money without even looking at bank accounts. The system sure as is not fair.
We Joined the caravan association who have cheap rates at their caravan sites but you can only stay for a max of 21 days then you have to move on, luckily they have a lot of sites all over the country.
