NDIS and multiple sclerosis
The NDIS provides support for people who have been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. Find out what your rights are.
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) appears in the NDIS List B disabilities. These are permanent conditions where the functioning capabilities of the person diagnosed are variable. What this means is that not everyone who has Multiple Sclerosis will have the same level of impairment – some may be severely impacted by their disability and others may function quite well.
To be determined as eligible for NDIS funding you will most likely need to provide additional evidence of your functional capacity and how significantly MS affects your daily life. If your day to day life is not yet greatly affected by your MS, it is unlikely that you will be able to receive NDIS funding.
The NDIS can provide a range of support for those diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Some examples of services through NDIS funding are:
