What is Informal Supports?
In plain English
Help you receive from family, friends and the community that no one is paid for. The NDIA takes your informal supports into account when deciding what is reasonable and necessary to fund.
Informal supports are the help you get from family, friends and the community that nobody is paid for. The NDIA takes your informal supports into account when deciding what is reasonable and necessary to fund. This does not mean informal support should replace funded support, but the NDIA does expect a realistic picture. Being honest about what is and is not sustainable for your family matters here.
