Thank you @Sans911 That's very kind of you - Thinking of me, like that.

I did not know that you had special expertise in this area.

I fall through the holes & gaps, every time - Never fitting the Specific Box Size/ Label/ or Criteria.

Very discouraging.

This NDIS process drained my resources, time & energy enormously.

I don't get paid any $$ for the 3 months of Preparing the NDIS Application - & Seeking Medical Reports to back it up (as evidence).

Yet NDIS Staff are Paid $$ to Reject/ Dismiss my Application - Within just a few days (less than 1 week) of having Fully Lodged that Application.

I've been through the process myself @Adge  and I have had to learn a lot along the way. It's been very challenging. But then I decided to help others with the process and help them deal with issues in their plan. I helped co-design a guide. My name isn't in the credits, so I'm going to post a link here and for when and if you feel up to it.

But I so wish I could help you in person, especially as we're in the same state. I don't mind you asking me any questions either on my thread.

I know the most important thing is to talk about how severe your lack of functioning is on your WORST day. And you only need to meet that criteria in one out of six domains.

Your diagnoses aren't so important. And if you can understand the 'language' of the NDIS even better.

@Faith-and-Hope @Snowie Up early here - fur babies wanting breakfast ...they really need to understand it is a non-work day and sleep in for me lol Have to head out for a while in a couple of hours so have a little time to begin sorting things out. Did a bit last night but still many boxes to go. I want it all done before the footy begins this afternoon so I can enjoy that knowing one big thing for this weekend is ticked off.

@Adge Hope you have an okay ay buddy

Had a visit from Mum unexpectedly @Snowie so didn't have the planned sleep I needed. It feels like the day is already getting away from me but I am so tired I can only do what I can.

Hope you are getting all your housework done Hon and can have some time to yourself also
