3 Personal and environmental circumstances - daily

support information

The daily support questions help us identify the supports a participant may need in their plan.

Understand daily supports in a participant’s plan

Daily supports are in the participant’s core supports budget. We include daily supports when there is a need to support the participant’s developmental delay or disability with activities such as: ● to wash, shower and dress ● household cleaning ● transport assistance ● yard maintenance.

To determine daily supports funding, we also consider the participant’s informal supports and other daily support they get from other government mainstream funding. For example, education and childcare services support.

Other ways we may connect people to daily supports

Participants can also get daily supports from: ● post-acute care programs ● rehabilitation ● community mental health and nursing. To learn more, go to article, Update the participant’s informal, community and mainstream supports during check-in.

Record daily support information

Ask the person the Daily Support questions in the Personal and Environmental Circumstances case and record their answer.

Note: Don’t read the response options to the person out loud. Listen carefully to their answers. You may need to select the most appropriate option for each question.

Use your interpersonal skills in a guided conversation to seek answers to each question.

Explain to the person we need the right information before we make an eligibility decision.

You must record a response for each mandatory field marked with an asterisk. Then select Next to continue.

Note: The PEC case Steps and questions are dynamic and may change. This will depend on the person’s situation and age, as well as the response options selected for some questions.
