Disability Medical Assessment
As a part of a new claim or review for Disability Support Pension, you may also be required to attend a Disability Medical Assessment.
A Disability Medical Assessment is conducted by a Government-contracted doctor and is compulsory before any claim for Disability Support Pension can be granted, excluding where you are manifestly eligible.
If you are an existing Disability Support Pension customer you may also be referred for a Disability Medical Assessment. A Disability Medical Assessment helps us review your medical evidence to determine your medical eligibility for Disability Support Pension.
If you need to attend this assessment, we will contact you to arrange your appointment.
