Hi @Adge I am disappointed about ndis and sorry for the feelings you may have about that. Wonder what the application process involved for you but also know it may be better to just let it slide rather than think more about it. I wish you had more support in your life. Seems to me you deserve it.

Hi @Mazarita  I'll be around for an hour or so if you do check in.  Longer post to come.

Dear @Adge  I'm sorry to hear your NDIS outcome and know how shit it can feel to be rejected by them only too well.  But please know you can do a "RORD" (they call it a review of a reviewable decision in NDIS-speak) which is an internal review and you can submit as much extra evidence as you can gather.  An occupational therapist assessment and psychology report are both good ones to have if possible.  But I also totally get that you might not want to push on with trying to be accepted.  It took me 18mths all up to beat them and get accepted, a lot of which is journalled on the Re: Anyone started with the NDIS thread.  If you do decide to persevere I'm happy to support you, but I support you totally in whatever decision you choose.

Sending warm wishes your way.

Good morning to all reading here today.  I'm just going to post a big thankyou here to all the folk who've tagged me in the last week.  I had a holiday interstate with my kid and their family and didn't take my laptop, but could see all the tags on my phone inbox, tho' I don't do the forums on my phone.  I had my birthday while I was down there and it was a lovely day spent with the family at the national arboretum in the forest.  A very special way to spend it.

So ....  A HUGE THANKYOU TO EVERYONE!!!
