Circumstances when an application may be made

There are several circumstances when an individual can apply for Adult Disability Payment. These include when they:

• are making their first application
• decide to apply again after a previously unsuccessful application and notice of determination
• have decided to apply again after their previous entitlement to Adult Disability Payment ended and their circumstances have since changed
• have withdrawn a previous application before a determination was made

A determination must be made where an individual submits a full application.

There are some circumstances when an application is not required. For example, when an individual is waiting for a determination on an existing application and contacts us to update it.
