Re: not coping

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

Re: not coping

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

Re: not coping

oh dear @outlander I've just seen your post I'm sorry to hear the news hon. Pets are so much like family members and we love them just the same. The passing of them is just as hard.

I do hope you take that time to grieve.

Sending so much love to you 💕💕
