Claim for Funeral Benefit (D0307)
This form is used to claim a one-off payment from DVA to help cover funeral costs for eligible veterans and their dependants.
When do you need this form?
You need this form when an eligible veteran or their dependant has died and you want to claim financial assistance toward funeral costs. This applies if the veteran was receiving certain pensions, was an ex-prisoner of war, died in needy circumstances, or died from war-caused or defence-caused conditions.
What you'll need
- Details of the deceased veteran or dependant including service information
- Death certificate or proof of death
- Funeral director's invoice showing costs incurred
- Evidence of the veteran's eligibility (pension details, service records, etc.)
- Your relationship to the deceased and responsibility for funeral expenses
Where to send it
Submit the completed application to DVA within 12 months of the death or within 12 months from when death was determined to be war-caused. Contact addresses are provided on the back of the form.
