In order to be considered reasonable and necessary, a support must,
- be related to your disability
- represent value for money
- be likely to be effective and beneficial
- take into account any informal supports given to you by your family, friends, support crew (including support workers, support networks and the community)
They can’t include any day-to-day living costs that aren’t related to your disability support needs.
