CAPITAL SUPPORTS This section describes the rules and arrangements that apply to capital supports. Assistive Technology (Support Category 2.05) This category includes all aids or equipment supports that assist participants to live independently or assist a to support the participant. It also includes related delivery, set-up and some training support items. Usually providing independent advice, guidance, trials, set-up and training (not bundled with sale of an item) is funded through Capacity Building (Support Category 2.15). More detailed information on assistive technologies and consumables codes can be found in the Assistive Technologies and Consumables Guide. Vehicle Modifications Vehicle modifications include the installation of, or changes to, equipment in a vehicle to enable a participant to travel safely as a passenger or to drive. A participant is free to choose a more expensive option at their own expense, where the more expensive option is not considered to be reasonable and necessary. An example of this situation would be where a vehicle modification has been approved for a participant, but the participant would like cosmetic or personalised fittings that are not related to their disability or are more expensive than others that have an equivalent function. In this situation, the NDIA will cover the reasonable and necessary component of the modification, and the participant will pay the additional cost.
