You could ask work & income if you could get the
extra help as you recieve family assistance and see if you could get the extra help.
Eg: Dietician & Doctors.Hope that helps.
Good luck.

Adults can get a disability allowance (for coeliacs disease you can anyway) but it is means tested.

 

T I usually only get a script when I'm at the doc for other things but have still found it's not worth it.  I generally get the san remo GF pasta's from Moore Wilsons or the healtheries or orgran stuff from the supermarket when it's on special.

Something I saw yesterday indicates that I could get a prescription for pasta and flour (maybe I'll need updated scripts when the kids go to the dr's ) and allowances are only for under 16yrs, thru WINZ.]]> Tue, 01 Jul 2008 17:56:49 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18545&PID=428898&title=govt-subsidies#428898 <![CDATA[Govt subsidies : But does an adult intolerance...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18545&PID=428573&title=govt-subsidies#428573 Author: Andie

You apply for a disability allowance and you have to get your dr to write on it what you need it for.

What do you want to know?  It's not all that great IMO.  I qualify for the subsidy for GF pasta and flour but by the time I've paid for the docs visit to get the prescription plus paid the $15 prescription fee the pasta works out the same price as getting it from a supermarket on special and the flour...not really sure but I don't like the horleys stuff (which is the subsidised brand) so I'd rather pay for the healtheries or bakels flours.
