[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 339049, member: 1991"] If you were in Australia, I would tell you that yes, there is such a payment. There are several kinds, depending on the situation and family income. I would also suggest that if you don't know if there is something or what your eligibility is, you make an appointment with the relevant welfare authorities, because their job is to help you. But I don't know if your welfare works like ours does. It should, but does it? You could always try to call them and find out. Maybe make an appointment with a welfare social worker (if they have them) and ask for information on what support you could be eligible for, under these circumstances. Also find out if there is some sort of support he could have accessed in the workplace, since this forced his early retirement. There might have been a partner's pension allowable. Even though he has since left, this is something that may be possible retrospectively. Maybe talk to his former employer? Or, if he had superannuation at the time, call that super fund and ask them if there was a medical retirement option/disability insurance option. Marg [/QUOTE]
