Yes, it is possible to qualify for the Mobility Allowance in Australia based on mental health conditions.
To be eligible, you need to have a mental health impairment that significantly restricts your ability to use public transportation without substantial assistance. The impairment should have lasted or is likely to last for at least six months.
The assessment of eligibility for the Mobility Allowance takes into consideration the impact of the mental health condition on your ability to independently access public transport. It is important to provide relevant medical documentation and evidence to support your application, such as assessments or reports from healthcare professionals familiar with your condition.
However, it’s worth noting that the eligibility criteria and specific requirements for the Mobility Allowance, including those related to mental health, are determined by Services Australia, the government agency responsible for administering the allowance.
It is recommended to contact Services Australia directly or visit their official website to obtain the most up-to-date information regarding eligibility for the Mobility Allowance based on mental health conditions. They can provide personalized guidance and assistance throughout the application process.
