New
RAF 1 FORM
A new RAF 1 Form ( Claim Form ) has been implemented which outlines the minimum information that must be provided by a claimant when lodging a claim , in order to ensure that claims are registered and processed in a timely manner by the Road Accident Fund ( RAF ).
EFFECTIVE DATE
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE NEW RAF 1 FORM :
04 JULY 2022
Going forward only the new Claim Form must be used and the RAF will object to the validity of all claims that are submitted on , or after , 4 July 2022 on the old RAF 1 Third Party Claim Form .
Claimants are only required to complete those sections of the Claim Form that relate to the specific type of claim lodged , which makes completion of the Claim Form simpler ;
The Claim Form lists all of the documents that a claimant must lodge with the Claim Form , for each type of benefit claimed , to enable the speedier processing of claims by the RAF ; and
The Claim Form was amended to assist the RAF to obtain sufficient information about the motor vehicle accident ( MVA ) to ensure that , at the time of lodgment , the RAF is in possession of the necessary information to enable it to investigate the MVA and to assess its liability within 120 days of lodgment .
The new RAF 1 Form is published on the RAF ’ s website at www . raf . co . za Find out more on 0860 23 55 23
