Seniors health card

 This seniors health card looks alright. It cuts down chemist costs and maybe some other perks.  I can just muster enough energy to type this blog after the nearly three hours of trying to get thru the online application process. I never got to the end either.  First I had to go through the digital ID process which involved my phone and an app and various documents. This was about an hour or so but eventually worked.  Then it was getting Centrelink attached to the MyGov and getting a Centrelink account, this was another hour.  Now we are down to the actual application process which involves questions about everything including how long you have lived at the current address and for some reason that is where we got stuck for 30 minutes as no matter what we did we could not put a date before 2022, which is 4 years to short. We decided to move on with the wrong date. They did not seem to care. By now Debbie is fully involved as it branches to allow for a second person to apply for a card as well becuase the answers are almost for two people anyway.  I got to the final document upload where tax assessments are required but now have to wait for the taxman to get back to us.  To be continued.
