Completing an evidence of psychosocial disability form.

Good evidence always helps the NDIS analyse the participant’s psychosocial condition and provide accurate support and services. Some of the proper evidence that should be shared is as follows:

• Always provide recent documents regarding psychosocial issues from registered health practitioners.
• Your evidence should confirm your primary disability
• Provide a complete report by your health professional who is treating and has relevant information about your primary disability
• The evidence should confirm the direct effect of your disability in the everyday and different areas of your life
• It should describe your previous treatments and outcomes
• The reports should describe the future treatment options and the presumed outcomes from it
