The figure undermines a South Australian MP’s claim on Wednesday that IT issues have prevented a single NDIS payment plan from being approved since the scheme’s rollout at the start of the month.

Kelly Vincent, who represents the Dignity for Disability Party, said a lack of resources had prevented the agency from fixing a flawed computer system.

“Many service providers, agencies and self-managed clients are unable to access the new payment website, and people with disabilities continue to be left in crisis,” Ms Vincent said in a statement.

The agency acknowledged it had experienced some technical issues but denied these had slowed the transition of the NDIS from a trial to a fully fledged scheme.
