Today was a real wakening that what lays ahead of us may not be very good at all, not only are they trying to put us back to the work-place, but they are also not giving us an increase in our Pharmaceutical allowance to cover the increases in costs of medications, so what hope does any DSP pensioner have ??? This issue is on our Agenda for our February National Conference. DSP Australia Inc. ARB076023544 AOO28385N National Office. P.O. Box 2092. WERRIBEE. VICTORIA.
