Do the amendments address people who will have difficulty in accessing documentation who aren't specifically vulnerable but might be made vulnerable by virtue of the fact that they don't have timely access to a payment? For example, there are people who have to access identity documents from overseas or take time drilling down their Australian citizenship documentation. If you become unexpectedly unemployed and you're not used to accessing this documentation, it may take you some weeks to gather that documentation before you're able to apply.
