Sorry @Adge I was refused as well but I asked for a review of the decision and was then accepted after submitting reports from my tdoc & pdoc. Please don't give up, keeping on them to accept you!

Hi I am Meggle and I have been on the NDIS for the last year and a half. I do find the NDIS a very difficult framework and hard to work with. I had my funding cut quite a lot this year.

Good evening all ! My name is Sandee and I have been a community support worker for the past 15yrs . I have worked in group homes for youth and disabilities , sub acute units for mental health and I have even had a stint in jail … in a correctional facilty supporting clients whos sentence was spent transition back into the community .
I have recently started a role as an Intake and Engagement officers for Life Without Barriers which has enabled me to have a holistic view on the way the NDIS plans are prepared and implemented .

Hi @Adge,
We are so sorry to hear how hard it has been for you to access NDIS support. That feeling of falling through the gaps is so hard and is something we are hearing a bit on the forums, and your experience in this discussion is so valuable if it is something you want to continue to share in. There are still many people here on the forums feeling that same feeling and you will likely find more members here who can relate and offer support
