Hi and a warm welcome
The system has certainly tightened up a lot over recent years. It's now much harder to obtain DSP and hence much injustice for people like yourself.
So, what are your options? Do you continue to fight a system that, at the end of the day, the organisation, centrelink and/or their agencies won't change their minds or do you do as they please and allow any consequences to occur.?
This is what I would do.
After so many years in conflict with them, perhaps if you attend their office with an appointment and say "I'll do as you please, what do you want me to do"?.
However, before that I would write a letter to them listing my restrictions and risks associated with entering employment with copies of doctors letters (evidence, even though they have them on file they often don't read them!). That with this evidence I suggest that anything untoward that occurs at any employment place due to my medical condition, I will blame your organisation.
If I'm sent for an interview I would be mentioning my restrictions to the prospective employer.
It is difficult for you to survive the many circumstances you find yourself. Everyone around you should be understanding about it, however they are not in your position so likely won't understand, try not to judge them on that. You need as many of your friends and family around you at this time.
When you are feeling down, change your environment, even a walk around the block, call a friend, help an elderly person with some gardening, write a poem or short story....anything!
I hope I've helped just a tiny bit.
