  • change banks.

Changes in your health

If your health changes it's best to let us know. Our team can help you figure out what this may mean for how we support you.

If you get a War Disablement Pension

You may be able to:

  • have a new condition accepted for treatment or rehabilitation
  • get support to stay independent in your home.
If you get another entitlement

You may be able to:

  • have a new condition accepted for treatment, rehabilitation or compensation
  • ask for a reassessment of an accepted condition
  • get support to stay independent in your home.

You can't apply for reassessment if you have been granted:

  • a permanent condition within the last 2 years
  • a temporary condition within the last 12 months.

You can have a reassessment sooner if there's medical evidence that the condition has changed by more than 10% whole-person impairment.

To apply for new conditions or reassessment of existing conditions:

  1. complete the Disablement Pension application form
  2. get your doctor to complete the medical sections.
  3. send the form to us.
