Disability Verification Support
Simplified Access to MSF Disability Schemes at St Luke’s Community Clinic
To streamline service delivery for Persons with Disabilities (PwDs) applying for Ministry of Social and Family Development (MSF)’s disability schemes and services, MSF has introduced a Disability Verification Form (DVF) from 8 September 2025.
The DVF provides a formal verification of a person’s disability status. It must be completed by a Healthcare Professional (HCP), who will assess whether the individual meets baseline disability thresholds and/or has a specified condition.
At St Luke’s Community Clinic, our Healthcare Professionals can complete the DVF for you—providing a one-time verification with no need for repeated medical documents or assessments—making access to support faster and more convenient.
Who needs Disability Verification Support?
You should get the DVF form completed if you are applying for specific disability schemes offered under the Ministry of Social and Family Development (MSF). If you have previously attended Special Education (SPED) schools or have already had your disability verified for MSF schemes, you do not need to submit this form again
