Transcript of How to claim a travel expense with MyService
Use this form (referred to as either D0800 or D800) to get reimbursed for travelling expenses, which relate to:
- treatment
- a Disability Compensation Payment claim
- an invalidity income support claim.
You must keep your receipts (over $30) for four months from the date your claim is processed. You may be asked to provide them during this period.
To be reimbursed for travel costs, under the Veterans’ Entitlements Act 1986 you must lodge the form within 12 months after you completed your travel.
For travel claims under the Military Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 2004 and the Safety, Rehabilitation and Compensation (Defence-related Claims) Act 1988, we recommend that you submit your claim within 12 months of your travel.
Late claims will only be considered for exceptional circumstances. This must be made in writing and include supporting evidence for the delay.
