Involvement Payments & Reimbursement

Payment for involvement. A disabled woman stands in a cosy kitchen with colourful tiles and wooden shelves. She wears glasses, a white robe-style top, and has pink streaks in her hair. She is using a mobility aid with stickers and is rolling up her sleeve to show her arm, which features a cross tattoo. Kitchen utensils, jars, and plants are visible around her.

Read about what you need to know when claiming money back for involvement in consultations or research.

Reasonable Adjustments

She has a red belt, several visible tattoos, and is resting her left hand on a walking stick attached to the side of her walker. The background includes green foliage and a dirt path. The woman looks directly at the camera with a calm expression.
