Currently waiting for a response from National Disability Insurance Agency, they should respond promptly and normally no later than May 23, 2024 (details).

Dear National Disability Insurance Agency,

I require a copy of all documents held or used by the NDIA to determine whether or not a person's myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) is permanent.

The information requested includes but not be limited to: the drugs, treatments, management regimes that the persons medical professional is expected to provide before making the determination that the condition is permanent.

Yours faithfully,

Julie Keys
