How to Complete the ITR-DD Form

All required fields in Part A must be completed. This will generate a Document Unique Number on the last page of the document.

SARS will not process the form unless it is fully completed and the Document Unique Number is generated.

The form must be completed by a practitioner qualified to diagnose the specific condition.

Refer to the ITR-DD guidelines to ensure the correct practitioner is used.

Using the wrong practitioner can result in your claim being rejected.

This is the date the patient first met the criteria for the disability.

It is NOT:

• The diagnosis date 
• The date the form was completed 
• The date the doctor signed 

This is one of the most common mistakes.

The form must include:

• The doctor’s signature 
• The official practice stamp 

Missing stamps are one of the most common reasons for SARS rejecting claims.

 Before submitting your ITR-DD form, make sure:

• All fields are completed (no blanks) 
• The form is signed by the taxpayer
• The correct practitioner has signed 
• The Date of Determination is accurate 
• The form includes both signature and stamp 

Missing any of these can delay or invalidate your claim.
