Anyone started with the NDIS?

Anyone started with the NDIS?

Tells my story from initial application (Feb '17) to acceptance by NDIS (July '18) and the process of putting things in place and progress, improvements, managing and difficulties since then. Now Jan '21.

Original post : I've recently moved and will need to get into the NDIS in my new location. Wondering if anyone in the forums has successfully done this? Any advice would be welcome. Feeling swamped by their website.

EDIT : I was finally accepted to the NDIS and am now 3/4 through my 2nd plan. With only a small reduction from the first year. And this plan is for 2 years so I don't have to jump through all the hoops with a review this time next year. To all others on this path I say ........

IT'S REALLY WORTH PERSEVERING!!!

Hoping this thread helps all who come here.

Lol @eth.Loved how you burnt the old copies/drafts. That's the way. Get rid of the old negativity. Bring in the new. Celebrate.

Thanks a lot @Sophia1 It took from February last year until now to get them to approve me. Absolutely could not have done it alone.

Hoping today is one of the better ones for you.

Re: Anyone started with the NDIS?

It's like now that AAT is resolved I've moved immediately into the next stage with NDIS. Want to be prepared in case they want to have the planning meeting soon. Solicitor says it'll probably be a month but sometimes they act faster. Bro is away but he'll be my nominee instead of sil from now on. So I have to check all his dates he's not available for it asap. Hoping I get to have my respite break without hearing from them at the same time as knowing the sooner the better in terms of knowing what they will fund.

@eth

Most people could not have done it alone when well...

the people who supported you all along...particularly your loving family knew that you were worth the effort..they are the people who can see how much you are so entitled to this support....

let all of that time go now if you can....it has affected you more than enough already...

you have achieved your wish despite the obstacles placed to halt you almost every step of the way..

this is your time to be Eth and live a quality life in your own eyes...

such a lovely warm feeling for all of us on the forum who fight our own battles to live in this world...this success helps all of us too....

there is hope...we can continue to speak up for ourselves...we do matter...

much love eth xxxxx

Re: Anyone started with the NDIS?

I can write epic posts @Sophia1 lol

As things are getting off my chest I find it more natural and easier to be brief, but I hope I am not curt.

CHeers Still @eth but yes be prepared.
