Common questions

Does having this condition mean I am eligible for the NDIS?
Not automatically. The NDIS looks at how much your disability affects your everyday life, not the diagnosis on its own. Two people with the same condition can have very different plans. Strong evidence from your treating professionals about the functional impact is what matters most.
