Official sources checked 2026-07-29

Start here

Start the West Virginia IDDW application

Before you start

  • Diagnostic evaluations, evidence about onset before age 22, adaptive-function records, school and medical history, current functional examples, communication needs, living situation, supports, risks, and representative documents.

Who to contact

Use the Acentra Health, IDDW, Medicaid, Case Manager, provider or Personal Options fiscal-employer agent, complete-notice appeal route, crisis service, or setting-specific protective-report route that owns this step.

Open the West Virginia IDDW application and Acentra instructions

Step by step

  1. Create a dated evidence index matching records to diagnosis or severe related condition before age 22, the required functional limitations, and current support needs.
  2. Supply the requested records to Acentra and the chosen approved psychologist; retain proof.
  3. Ask for a written missing-information request, evaluation result, medical-eligibility decision, or next event.

Expected next

Records request, evaluation activity, eligibility notice, or named next step.

Save this proof

Evidence index, evaluations, submissions, confirmation, contacts, and written result.

If this stalls or the answer is no

Ask the eligibility owner to identify the unresolved criterion and acceptable evidence.
