What is the Disability Tax Credit?

Do I qualify for the Disability Tax Credit?
The disability tax credit can help Canadians who are disabled and their caregivers get out of debt and live a better life. When someone has a disability that prevents them from earning an income, debt can mount quickly. Medications, therapy, visits to medical experts, and hospital stays, the bills keep coming and the money to pay for it all keeps dwindling. Check out our list of qualifying conditions. Please contact us to get more information 1-866-635-1919

How long does the process take?
The process generally takes around 6 months, but may take longer if we have to wait to receive the necessary forms back from you or your doctor. Canada Revenue Agency may also lengthen the process because they require more information from your doctor or other reasons. If the process takes longer or you have questions please contact us 1-866-635-1919

Do I need to wait until personal tax season?
No, helping Canadians receive retroactive tax refunds for their disabilities can be done at any time of the year.

−
Will this affect my provincial disability (e.g. AISH, ODSP)?
No, your provincial disability payments will not be affected at all. The Disability Tax Credit aims to help you get back taxes you have paid over the past 10 years, while provincial disability programs aim to help disabled Canadians with low incomes meet basic financial requirements.
