📋 Weighing Evidence of Disability for NDIS Applications

Welcome to ISM's Knowledge Hub! 👋

Today, we're exploring how the NDIS weighs evidence of disability. This is crucial for understanding how to submit the right documentation for your NDIS application. Let's dive into the details:

To meet NDIS disability or early intervention requirements, you must provide:

• Permanent Impairment Evidence: Usually from a doctor or specialist.

• Functional Capacity Evidence: Details on how your impairment affects daily life, typically from an allied health professional.

• Permanent Impairment: Evidence can be from any time.

• Functional Capacity: Should be from the last 12 months to reflect current circumstances.

• Permanent Impairment: Preferably from a doctor or specialist like a GP, neurologist, or psychiatrist.

• Functional Capacity: From professionals such as occupational therapists, psychologists, or physiotherapists.

• Provide Up-to-Date Evidence: Ensure your functional capacity evidence is recent.

• Consult the Right Professionals: Use qualified and registered health professionals.

• Understand Evidence Types: Different types of evidence come from different specialists.
