Why can't I apply here?

This is a guide only. If you want to go ahead and apply, go to MyMSD or call 0800-559-009 or 0800-552-002 if you are over 65. When you call, the system will ask you what you are calling about. Speak normally – it will listen to you and understand what you want to do.

We’ll then have a chat to work out exactly what you qualify for, and what you need to do.
