5.1 Claims for DAPP

Introduction

Centrelink cannot make a determination that DAPP is payable to a person for a child for a period unless the person has made an effective claim for the child.

An effective claim must be in the form approved by Centrelink for a DAPP claim. A claim cannot be effective if it is made by a person who cannot make a claim for DAPP.

Only a natural person can make a claim.
