If approved, SMF will fund up to 90% of the cost of the device, or the maximum device subsidy cap, whichever is lower.

The amount of subsidy you receive will depend on your means-test result. This means there will be an amount you will need to co-pay for your device.

Please make sure that your SMF application for the device is approved before you purchase it. Purchases made in advance cannot be reimbursed under SMF as subsidies are only provided through an approved application.

After you submit the completed application form and all the required supporting documents, we may take up to 15 working days* to process your application. You will be informed about the outcome in writing via mail.

*The processing period is longer for motorised device applications as applicants will need to undergo assessment. It will also take longer if your submission is incomplete.
