Form SA466 is the Services Australia paper claim for Disability Support Pension (DSP), the income support payment for people whose physical, intellectual, or psychiatric condition stops them from working. Services Australia describes the online claim through a Centrelink online account via myGov as faster and easier, so the paper form is for people who cannot claim online.
You can fill out SA466 in the Universal PDF editor. Work through the questions on screen, review your answers, then download the completed PDF to sign and lodge with your medical evidence and supporting documents.
What is Form SA466 used for
SA466 collects the personal, residence, work, and medical information Services Australia needs to assess a DSP claim. The form describes the claim as being for people who are 15 years and 9 months or older and under Age Pension age, and who are permanently blind or have a disability or medical condition and are not able to work 15 hours or more a week, or be retrained for work, within the next 2 years. Other rules such as residence, income, and assets also apply, and Services Australia assesses all of them.
The claim leans heavily on medical evidence: the form warns that if you do not provide all the medical evidence and supporting documents asked for, the claim may not be accepted or may be rejected. People with a terminal illness and a life expectancy of less than 2 years use a different form, the SA494.
Who uses Form SA466
The form is for people claiming DSP who cannot claim online. Services Australia publishes a pre-claim guide at servicesaustralia.gov.au/dsppreclaimguide that walks through the rules before you commit to a full claim, and its website explains the medical and non medical rules in detail. This page describes the form itself and is not guidance on what to claim.
You do not have to prepare the claim alone. You or your nominee can get help at a service centre or over the phone, and disability advocates found through the Disability Gateway can help you claim. The claim also includes medical evidence pages for your treating health professionals.
How to fill out Form SA466
Set aside time and collect your medical documents before starting, since the medical detail carries much of the claim:
- Enter your Customer Reference Number if you have one, plus your personal and contact details.
- Complete the residence questions covering your Australian residence history.
- Describe your medical conditions, the health professionals treating you, and your treatment history, and attach the medical evidence the claim asks for.
- Answer the work and education questions, including how your condition affects your ability to work or train.
- Complete the income and assets information, and any companion forms your answers require, such as the SA369.
- Consider completing the consent to disclose medical information step, which the form says may help the claim be assessed more quickly, then sign and date the declaration.
How to submit Form SA466
Return the claim and all required supporting documents online (excluding identity documents) using your Centrelink online account or the Express Plus Centrelink app, by post to Services Australia, Disability Services, PO Box 7806, Canberra BC ACT 2610, or in person at a service centre. If you upload the claim, the form asks you to upload the medical evidence pages under their own form code so they reach the assessors.
Confirm you have the current revision of SA466 on servicesaustralia.gov.au/sa466 before lodging, since forms are revision dated and superseded versions can be rejected.
