Dear senate inquiry please read my letter.
I hope it makes sense as i struggle to put things in logical order. Part of ptsd sensory overload.
How the ndis changes have affected me.
I had a plan review and a in person meeting where the planner said that my plan would stay the same and it would be a 5 year plan.
This was jist before christmas. On 6th jan an email came that stated plan cut and effective on the day sent. So i was out of my budget immediately.
I lost it, i cried couldnt talk to anyone. I did not understand why, i stopped eating, not sleeping, suicidal and withdrew from everything. I started having nightmares. These nightmares still happen 6 months later, i am angry amd snappy, i feel like i cant trust anyone. I dont see anything joyful moving forward, i love to garden but have done none of that.
I hold stress in body and this continued stress if affecting my physical health. I have heart issues but havent followed it up as this is stressful and a support worker had finally got me to make appointments to get it looked at. I have had to let this person go so no going to gp.
I dissociate regluarly and cant remeber thinds, dont finish what im saying or things dont make sense. The stress is just so hars i cry regularly.
I am very dependant on my mum who is 75 and needing medical things sorted herself. She goes by herself to get groceries where we would go together before.
Why cant the people who have ripped people off pay back the money they have ripped off. The way this has neen put in the media its like the people with disabilities are ripping the system off.
I have had support workers who should not work in the system. Very demanding, standover tactics etc.
Im just tryibg to rebuild my life. Well im just going to exist now no sense of achiement or getting help to get things done. My plan has been cut by 60% fron 30 hrs to 12. So not much of what i need to do feel helpless unheard and decieved especially when i had a face to face. For ne to attend this ibterview also triggered me as someone was at the lical office and going off. I dont like people simple and then what you plan gets ripped out from under you.
The complete disregard to the people with the disability and ripping the help they need to function and thrive in communities is so wrong. Get the real crininals not destroy vulnerable people. I see no future for myself. I just exist.
I feel like selling and moving and cant sleep and having nightmares.
Just a person who doesnt count has no rights. I hate my life.
Have a heart and go after the people who are ripping the system off not the people who need help.
