1.  Of the total access met decisions, the number who were access not met at an earlier decision (noting we don't have the 
disability type associated with the earlier decision) 
 
2.  Noting the following: 
• 
Most recent primary disability means the current disability type for active Scheme participants, and the last recorded 
disability type for participants who had access not met or have since exited the Scheme. Where a participant has 
changed their primary disability type (for example, between an earlier access request and their final access request), 
we can only identify the latest disability type. 
• 
Numbers are cumulative totals from Scheme inception, and would be provided at 31 December for each year. 
*Performance against the service standards is not available for the December 2023 quarter due to the NDIA’s transition to its 
new computer system. Reporting for the majority of PSGs wil  be available in the March 2024 quarter.
