The NDIS "Yes" Secret: It’s Not Just Your Diagnosis 🔓
Waiting for NDIS approval? The #1 mistake is focusing only on a medical condition. The NDIS doesn’t just fund a diagnosis they fund Functional Capacity.
The Quick Checklist:
✅ The Basics: You’re under 65, an Australian resident, and live in Australia.
✅ The Impact: You must show a "substantially reduced capacity" in daily life like moving, communicating, socialising, learning, self-care, or self-management.
✅ The Evidence: Your reports must show what you cannot do without help.
💡 Pro-Tip: Ensure your GP describes your "Functional Impact". If a support helps you live more independently and reach your goals, it is more likely to be seen as "Reasonable and Necessary"
