Other necessary considerations before selecting an indefinite award

If the individual has one of the conditions on either list, they must still meet all of the eligibility criteria for Adult Disability Payment. Case managers should consider each activity for the daily living and mobility components, scoring each appropriately.

Individuals need to be entitled to the enhanced rate of both the daily living and the mobility component of Adult Disability Payment to be considered for an indefinite award. This is to ensure that, should their level of needs increase in the future, they will not miss out on the level of disability assistance they are entitled to because a review date will not be set due to an indefinite reward being given.

Case managers must consider all aspects outlined in section “Relevant considerations” when considering an indefinite award.

Where it is unclear from the information available whether the individual has a condition on this list, the case manager should request a case discussion with a practitioner to better understand

• the individual’s needs
• their suitability for an indefinite award.
