Reasonable and necessary is the legal test the NDIA uses to decide what it will fund. A support must relate to your disability, represent value for money, be likely to be effective and beneficial, and take into account the informal supports already around you. It is not about funding everything you might want, but everything you genuinely need because of your disability. Understanding this test helps you frame your requests well.
