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.

Hey @eth, @CheerBear,

Eth, I would be inclined to do that with the prn. You do sound nervous and wound up. Either way, hope the jitters settle for you this afternoon. x

Re: Anyone started with the NDIS?

I too would probably go a prn if I was feeling really unsettled, not much felt like it would or could work, and I could actually take it @eth. Whatever you think is right to do today is going to be right to do.

Will have everything crossed for you.

Re: Anyone started with the NDIS?

All this anxiety and nervousness is pretty normal I think @eth. It is a big important meeting with the LAC and, as you say, this will determine your funding package for the next twelve months. I know I am getting nervous myself and my appointment is still 9 days away. I have to gather all sorts of information and letters of support acknowleding my level of functioning, what my dreams and aspirations are. It is really nerve-wrecking really.

I take my hat off to you @eth, as you're really blazing the trail for the rest of us. That shows you are someone with incredible strength and bravery. Good luck for tomorrow, I'll be thinking of you and hoping it all goes well and you receive an adequate package to enable you to live the best life possible.

Hi @eth, wondering how you are going at this point of the day. Hope sil has been able to help and that you have been able to relax some. ox

Thanks @Queenie @CheerBear @Mazarita for the kind wishes.

Feeling pretty blah about it all tonight. Didn't get to spend any time with sil on working out hours to ask for yet as she had a busy day and evening. I guess that means we'll be getting into it early tomorrow.
