If I could I would, it's the dollars that are stopping us. We have just moved house and our rent has gone from $560 a fortnight to $960 a fortnight, we're on disibility pensions and a new mattress is way down our list of must haves!
Living on a pension is very hard , and paying rent makes it so much worse. I am thankful I own my home although the costs are so high . I feel for you and what you are going through, God bless.

Are you entitled to rent assistance or any other government support. I have now swapped from disability to aged pension but I was able to get a significant amount of support on disability pension. Please look into it, you might find some support!
