Claim for Disability Compensation Payment and/or Application for Increase in Disability Compensation Payment (D2582)

This form is used by veterans to claim disability compensation payments or apply for an increase in existing disability compensation payments related to their military service.

When do you need this form?

You need this form if you are a veteran who believes you have a disability or medical condition that is related to your Australian Defence Force service and you want to claim compensation for it. You would also use this form if you already receive disability compensation but believe your condition has worsened and you want to apply for an increase in your payment amount.

What you'll need

  • Your service history (PMKeyS ADO Full Service Record)
  • ADF medical documents including clinical notes, specialist reports, and scans
  • A statement describing how your condition relates to your ADF employment
  • Proof of identity documents
  • Incident reports and witness statements if applicable

Where to send it

Submit the completed form to the Department of Veterans' Affairs, either through their online portal MyService if you have a PMKeys number, or by contacting DVA on 1800 VETERAN (1800 838 372).
