    Still here. Waging a six month battle with the NDIS - (Australia’s National Disability Insurance Scheme). It is a bureaucratic nightmare.
    Yes, I’m approved, and yay they pay for a cleaner. There’s a plan manager ($1500 p.a.), a plan reviewer ($1500), an OT assessor ($2000 a trip) and on and on and on.
    I had a recliner/lift chair approved in April. PT and GP said I needed it. Rollator, scooter, saggy lounge and exciting falls have wrecked my back and shoulders. It’s been complete screw-up. I’d have bought the bloody thing myself except they assured me it was on its way.
    Phone calls, emails, texts waiting, waiting, waiting.
    Yes, I am pleased about the free cleaner.
    The plan people treat you like you’re an idiot, and know nothing about MS.
    They’re obsessed with “community involvement”. Would I like to go out more? Do I need a social worker to take me to the supermarket? NO, I need a bloody lift chair.
    So, that’s me. Sitting on a saggy couch, trying to be polite to people who are driving me nuts.
    Could be worse.
    Love to all. 💕

    Hello Thinkimjob

    Thanks for checking in with us!

    Sorry that you have to go through so much stress and frustration trying to get your lift recliner. What a pain!

    I couldn't do without my recliner for very long, as I use it for sleeping.

    Hopefully you get yours soon.

    And also hope you are able to check in more often, to let us know how you are doing. Always like hearing from you, Thinkimjob

    Take Care

    Hello Thinkimjob, I can certainly can relate about the ins. com's. I remember one time I finally broke down and cried. So frustrating.

    I hope you don't have to wait much longer on your lift chair.
    God Bless Us All

    Good to see you, Think! Have been missing you. Hope that chair arrives soon enough and you get exactly what you asked for.

    Red tape is red tape, no matter where you live. I've been going through that getting my scooter repaired. Waiting 3 months now.

    Let us know when it arrives and take care!
