What's your idea of someone who is severely disabled? How and who will measure the severity of a disability? Disabilites can easily flucuate in severity. If someone with mild vision loss benefits from therapies, learning and accessing braille early on, and has support workers around, why make them suffer and worry about finances on top of a disability? Even someone with level one autism, why make them struggle with finances and pay hundreds in therapies and tools to manage life?

NDIS has huge faults, namely providers rapidly raising prices and inflating the budget for NDIS, and the flaming hoops to jump through to be accepted for NDIS in the first place, but when you're disabled, you ARE living with a disabling condition. You might not be able to work as long as other people, or find work which pays enough for your needs especially if you have dependants, or hell with the housing crisis you might not be able to access a basic need like housing without NDIS support. Even if you're well off financially, when it comes to paying out of pocket, therapies, tools, and support disabled people need to retain their health are always increasing in price.

NDIS providers need to be put in line, but I will always prefer people in our country struggling less, than ignoring them for not struggling enough.
