A one could hypothetically either receive NDIS or Centrelink but not both?

An adult may qualify for disability payments - they go directly to the individual to help cover accommodation and living costs. I believe is around $1200 per fortnight, rent assistance might also be applicable.

The individual can still qualify for a NDIS plan to cover the assistance needed to navigate life while claiming a disability pension through Centrelink - therapies, physical aids, assistive technology, caters etc pending the impact of the disability. All NDIS plans vary as they are customised to the individuals needs. NDIS payments do not go to the individual but to third parties and it is difficult but not impossible to claim assistance for living related expenses.

My opinion only as the mother of a young adult who receives a DP from Centrelink and also has a current NDIS plan

“However, it will be alleged Pheobe was murdered on Airport Drive in Kensington.

According to court documents seen by The Courier Mail, the housemates then allegedly interfered with the corpse on May 15 in Bundaberg or elsewhere in the state.

The pair are then accused of two days later moving the remains to the Good Night Scrub National Park, south of Gin Gin, where they were found last Friday by police.”

I'm still totally confused as to why the police first searched in the area they did in Goodnight Scrub, why they then searched in exactly the correct place a couple of days later, why they allege that she was killed on Airport Drive and why they can so categorically state that TB and JW moved the body twice. I don't expect that the public should know the ins and outs but why, if they won't say why/how they searched where they did, will they state so clearly as an allegation rather than a suspicion what they believe? The only part that makes sense to me is that they presumably found forensic evidence in the first area whichj proved that poor Pheobe had been there and was no more Where do all the other 'facts' come from?

Is that for the weapons charge?

Yes, it would be the weapons and explosives charges from 29th May.



“James Wood, 34, has been issued with a notice to appear in the Bundaberg Magistrates Court on June 13.

He is facing one count each of unlawful possession of weapons and unauthorised possession of explosives.”

Your explanation is much better than mine! It highlights the individual nature of NDIS plans.

I think this is a solid theory. Could the tensions have been heightened because they were in the process of being evicted, and PB was not cooperating with a plan to continue any carer arrangement in place that was providing TB with income?

Also to note, as has been mentioned previously, bpd refers to borderline personality disorder, not bipolar disorder.

Yes @essareem picked this up earlier when someone here said she had Bipolar
Can't find the post but @essareem might be able to reference back here

Hypothetically, if PB was an NDIS recipient (which it is just a rumour reported on by the Daily Mail), would that mean TB could have been her carer? And, hypothetically, if so, could this have been linked to a possible motive? Such as, a loss of income? If PB blurted out that she wasn't coming back. Or, perhaps, a threat of exposure? Or both?

Yes, now it's been "officially" mentioned that PB had been "diagnosed" with a disability, TB could have been her carer. A means to an income perhaps because TB mother had to sack her due to her charges maybe.

I'm interested in how this diagnosis came about and at what age Pheobe was diagnosed

Thank you for your educated opinion. I'm blessed to be unfamiliar with the system, so I really appreciate the information.
From all accounts it's a rigmarole maybe unless you know the boxes to tick I guess.

Interesting, thank you!

So if, hypothetically, the recipient is still a child under 18, who would have set that up? I'm asking, hypothetically, PB being still a child - if TB was hypothetically her carer, could she have set this arrangement up herself? Or would a parent/guardian need to oversee this?
 
We don’t know who physically murdered Pheobe & motives or reactions could be different.

@thinker47 I also think the timing is important. So close to the airport, Pheobe might have felt ‘safe’ to speak her mind about changing the set-up or threatening exposure if something wasn’t quite ‘legit’

Yes police confirmed they found evidence in the first GNS search area that confirmed all three people PB, TB and JW had been there. It was in the first news conference I think.

previous post

Daily Mail Australia has stated it reached out to both Smileys Support Coordination and the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission, the independent regulatory body overseeing NDIS providers for comment.

Im wondering if they have had a reply as yet 🤔
