Dear Ms.

Re My submission no. 69

To: 		Disability Discrimination Act Inquiry
		Productivity Commission

Another example enclosed for inclusion.

The aged disabled being discriminated against on reaching age pension. Age Carer Payment also becomes taxable. In my case my wife is my carer and receives carer payment. We use this money to help with the running costs of our car. As we lost mobility allowance at 65, retirement age. With any balance of money going towards the maintenance of our home.

This is a miserable act by government on the aged disabled. Surely unnecessary with introduction of GST. See enclosed cutting from Centrelink Disability Carers Connections July

Yours faithfully
