An NDIS recipient and disability advocate says there is great worry among people with disability over measures to curb growth of the scheme.

The federal government is expected to outline those budget measures today.

People With Disability Australia says it expects reductions will also cut access to critical supports for people with disability.

Speaking to National Radio News, PWDA Vice President Jarrod Sandell-Hay says any move to tighten eligibility and limit supports will mean people will go without.

He says he is keenly awaiting details of the changes.
