I applied for youth allowance as i'm studying, i'm doing it online but i just found out i got rejected for the allowance and i don't even know what to do what happens when i can no longer afford medication. I'm so scared that i'm not going to be able to afford it anymore, i don't even have a phone, i need to start paying for things at home, like board and food but because i'm not getting any money i can't do that..and i have no way of proving that i need to pay for these things. This is all just bringing me down and i'm not over 22 so i can't so for anything else.. this has got me in such a bad situation that it feels like there's no point in even trying with anything. I'm in no position to work right now plus my school work is extremely hard and takes many hours per day as i have always struggled in school

Hi there BBR
I would have thought that Centrelink SHOULD be there to help you - with what you've written, I would say you've got an excellent case to present to them.
Did they give you a reason why?
I've got a suggestion for you to either go to your GP to discuss this very issue and that they may be able to provide you with a certificate of some sort that you could take along to the GP or at the very least give you some professional guidance to help you out at this time.
I'm assuming that you've got no family close by who may be able to help you out during this very difficult time for you?
Kind regards
Neil
