Two different programmes

First identify what you are trying to apply for.

Disability allowance

A social-protection programme administered through the Department of Social Services. Current eligibility and application instructions should be confirmed from DSS.

Education stipend for students with disabilities

A separate DSS programme supporting eligible students with disabilities across education levels. DSS publishes current programme and application information.

Before applying

Prepare to verify current requirements.

Check whether disability registration or an ID is required for the specific programme.
Confirm the current application window and whether online applications are open.
Check what identity, education, banking, or mobile-financial-service information is required.
Keep submitted copies and reference numbers.
If an application is rejected or unclear, ask the responsible local social-services office what rule or document is missing.
