If your medical card was due to expire between March and August 2020, it was automatically extended for up to one year. This was to cover you during the initial phase of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
Cards extended in these circumstances will be re-assessed on a planned basis as society and business return to normal. We will write to you when we need to start your assessment.
If your card is due to expire after 31 August 2020, your renewal will be assessed as usual.
