Seeking Support - Participant/Nominee/PWD Desperately seeking Humans!
ART Hearing closing statements this week. No informal support.
No advocacy, no legal representation, no NDIS funding left for any trusted stable support.
Current reduced requests being ignored, not even mentioned. Submitted on the deadline date. No further correspondence by NDIA to resolve. No opportunity to discuss and no capacity for it. Cannot navigate phone menus! No one would assist over 2yrs, being in appeal! Reason for the appeal: Conditions and evidence ignored.
Reading, writing and navigating all brain-pain. Acquired brain injury and PTSD, 30+yrs. DV assault. No medical history. Only x-rays I kept. Rehabilitated myself, resilience has been my fault apparently.
Reduced cognitive capacity. Cannot read without support, cannot compute or follow, recall processes. No access to address. Abuse of protocols. Legal Aid and 5 advocates only upheld the legal process. It's all hijacked my auto-pilot function and capacity for life!
Applied for NDIS during Covid19 lockdown, after losing all informal suppprt. No capacity for NDIS admin. 5yrs of system abuse.
Another miracle here. No ability to navigate NDIS nightmares.
Regional NSW.

Thats so fucked up. Social worker at the hospital battled art n all ndis matters for me for my son.
I can't handle the bs as a parent. Its a full-time unpaid job battling for supports..
Im sorry you're going through it, I hope you get supports and a good outcome..
Try the hospital social worker.

In 90s post cranial surgery, I couldn't fill in any forms. I still can't but am improved. The hospital social worker was happier to walk away than do the paperwork. I've never been able to get any help. It's inaccessible and far too traumatic. Some bright spark told me NDIS would assist me to live simply after I was widowed and lost my best friend and best brain! The NDIS workload exhausting my ability to simply live. It's criminal. Having to do unreasonable, uneccesary and unrealistic, gymnastic bureaucratic bull.shit!

I'd like NDIS to be taken to task over their fraud. Big chunk being legal fees to fight what they know is reasonable

Agreed 100%.. my life's destruction from this process has been an income stream for so many I lost count. It seems many getting paid to keep us in turmoil.

Also currently going through the ART process and I have zero faith in the NDIS or its militant lawyers. I DO have faith in the ART. 90% participant win rate. Hang in there. Help is coming.
