Core supports are for use in (daily living) activities. Plans have a degree of flexibility for a client to choose their supports within their core budgets, but this funding cannot be reallocated into different categories. (i.e. capital or capacity building supports).
The category known as Capital building is an investment, in (assistive technologies) – equipment, home or vehicle modifications, or for Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA). Participant budgets for this type of support are restricted to specific items identified in the participant’s plan. The NDIS has established specific price guides for Assistive Technology and SDA.
Capacity building funding, enables a participant to build their skills and confidence to allow them to live a more independent life. Within a clients plan, goals are set, these budgets are allocated at a support category level (see next section) and must be used to achieve such expectations.
The NDIS will fund reasonable and necessary supports that enable a person living with a disability enjoy an ordinary life - Read more here: https://www.ndis.gov.au/applying-access-ndis/how-apply/information-gps-and-health-professionals/supports-faq
The Disability Support Pension along with other income supports and payments such as the Carer Payment, Carer Supplement, Carer Allowance and Child Disability Assistance Payment are separate to the NDIS. These payments will not be affected if a client qualifies for the NDIS. Not all recipients of the Disability Support Pension are eligible for NDIS funding. - Read more here - https://www.ndis.gov.au/applying-access-ndis/how-apply/information-gps-and-health-professionals/supports-faq
