not coping

That makes a lot of sense @outlander . Now that it's been 3 years, you have the records to show it is ongoing and 'lifelong'. I think the lifelong part is the main thing they are looking for as well as how it affects your daily functioning in each developmental area. 

I'm going to look for a good example to see if you are interested. It really opened my eyes in terms of submitting a request. If I find it, I'll flick it to your email. But essentially, it's how a psychosocial disability affects functioning in each area and how a couple navigated this in the application.

Yes, I meant how long after submitting the request do you have to wait for a response.

the support co-ordinator has been ok @tyme and the company i pay privatley to pay for support seem to be helpful with ndis too. so hoping this time maybe there is enough evidence.
but if you could send me the example that would be great if you can find it.


um i believe they have 6 weeks to respond to an application @tyme so i could potentially be waiting over a month to hear a yes or no answer

[tyme]

I've sent it @outlander . So glad I found it.

[outlander]

thank you @tyme ill have a look

now i know why ndis participants are so stressed when applying!

[tyme]

Precisely @outlander !

But yes, the process is very very thorough. Especially at this time when the gov is culling as many packages as possible because the entire NDIS budgeting has blown out of proportion. This makes it even harder to get approval. Hence add as much as you can and document how your disability affects your daily functioning e.g social networking, relationships, work, communication etc

definently @tyme

unfortunatley there are some particpants who actually have funding they dont use or have excessive amounts that they dont really need

Sorry @outlander needed some time out.

I hope the application is full steam ahead.

Sending lots of love hon 💕💕
