10.13.6 Requirement to Claim a Benefit from Denmark

Requirement to claim a benefit from Denmark

The Agreement with Denmark does not contain special provisions to make it compulsory for people claiming Australian benefits under the Agreement to also claim a benefit from Denmark. However, all claimants for Australian benefits are required to take reasonable action to claim any entitlement from overseas, including Denmark. See CFP legislation in 7.3.1.
