For all those Aussies registered, or who are thinking of registering with the NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme) you are now able to get Lite N Easy meals subsidised and delivered to your home for approximately $40.00 a week. I also get transport costs at $67.00 a fortnight paid into my bank account. Hopefully I will lose some weight on the Lite n Easy meals.
To qualify for NDIS you need to have permanent disability. I qualified with Schizophrenia.
I’ve a friend who has Aspergers and he’s just got like a cleaning person for two hours a week as well as other things. I’d be interested in those lite and easy meals as that is a crazy good deal and ap’s make everyone gain weight it seems.
You would be amazed at what you are entitled to @rogueone. Gardeners, gym memberships, support workers. They even paid for my laptop.
It all depends on your level of disability and requires your GP to complete the NDIS forms. It may be worth raising it with your Doctor and Psychiatrist.
The Lite n Easy is such a god send. I don’t feel guilty as the medications we take are notorious for weight gain and I am suffering greatly.
I am a New Zealander by birth, but came to this great country at the age of 15. Initially I was so angry at my parents for moving us but consider myself fortunate these days.
I lived back in NZ from 2007 until 2011. 2011 was when I started to get sick with anxiety and depression so decided to come back to Oz. Lucky I did as my depression turned into a Schizophrenia diagnosis.
I doubt my treatment plan would have been so good in NZ.
