Hi, looking for advice or any experience that might help ease my mind!
So basically iv just started receiving lope payments through ACC for sensitive claim. Last year I completed my impairment assessment etc and have followed on with lope. However I am still waiting for the back payment with lope from when I turned 18. Over the years I have been on sole parent benefit and worked part time/ causal here and there. Never full time work. I understand with the back payment there will be a debt whatever is owed to MSD. My question is what exactly do you have to pay back to them? Is it the full amount you received or is it just the main benefit? It’s very confusing and I’m just looking for advice or if anyone has some experience close to this situation.
Thanks!

My almost 15 week old baby has colic, it started around 3-4 weeks and it’s been extremely brutal as both my husband and I have never heard of colic before. However! we have been trying our best to manage the big scream crying episodes. We use ifacol before and sometimes after feeds she is exclusively breastfed and we also use colic calm. she has definitely gotten better in the last couple of weeks, lots of smiling and chatting. seems to be happy by herself inbetween naps during the day etc. BUT! this past week has been crazy again. Harder to settle, very clingy, more fussy for feeds, lots of gas lots of crying and wakes up during the night really grumpy and loud crying! I don’t mind the no sleep as such it’s just the uncontrollable screaming that sends my nervous system through the roof!

when does the colic really end? she also has to get her immunisations next week and I am terrified!

love to hear all your stories and advice!
