"that's funny cos she was diagnosed with depression and PTSD"
"That is not true. I was never diagnosed with either of those at all and have never claimed to be."
i believe your exact words were, 'i faked ptsd and depression to get on disability lol'. my response was that you were successful in your attempts so regardless of 'faking', you were diagnosed with those two. and then you left the forum for a while cos i think it was too much for you.
"It often feels like you and Whoameye are cut from the same cloth, or at least your personalities are."
I do think we share similar personalities to a degree.
"Also are you into knives/guns? I am interested in both. Though I get the feeling I am not interested in them in the same way your are."
Yes, very much so. I like the damage they can do.

I wasn't diagnosed with them because the people I faked them to were only job capacity assessors. It's not their job to diagnose anyone, and considering I didn't get to see their report, I have no idea if any of that was even mentioned in it.
No therapist I've ever seen has ever diagnosed me with PTSD. Why? Because I don't have it, duh.
Uh, I'm guessing you have the same Centrelink DSP process in NSW as we do in VIC...
The job of the bureaucrats is to rank the level of capability, based on the written report of the diagnostician (and that paperwork is very rigid, not a lot of room to editorialise).
Trying to fake an illness to them is approximately redundant. The diagnosis has already been established. And the only reason the candidate actually attends the interview is for their own clarity RE: decisions reached.
