Disability-Related Health Supports provide care to respond to the disability-related health needs of a participant where that care is not the usual responsibility of the health system. Line items from the Improved Daily Living Support Category have been temporarily duplicated into the Assistance with Daily Life Support Category so that participants can have greater access to these supports if they need them:
