Melbourne woman with cerebral palsy fights to stay in her home after NDIS funding cut

But changes to her NDIS plan mean she faces being forced to move back into shared accommodation.

The new funding allocation requires her to live with two other residents.

Guardian Australia has reported cases including a man in his 20s who spent his final months battling for denied supports, and cuts to the funding of a man with intellectual disability that forced his parents back to the AAT for the second time in two years.

SDA participants make up a fraction of overall NDIS participants, with about 17,000 people accessing those services, of the more than 500,000 people on the scheme.

Guardian Australia has reported on the extraordinary lengths people with disability have gone to in order to secure suitable housing.

A Summer Foundation and La Trobe University study also found NDIS participants are spending months in hospital waiting to be discharged due to delays in approving funding packages for accommodation and other support.
