Process Towards Disability Tax Credit (DTC)
- The eligibility is based on the effect of the impairment.
- A person may be eligible to apply for DTC if he or she has a mental or physical impairment that is severe and lasted at least 12 consecutive months.
- If you have a disabled child who qualifies under one of the area - physical impairment and / or mental function; your child's DTC may be transferred to a guardian-caregiver.
Claiming Disability Tax Credit
- This tax credit is complex, open to interpretation as to eligibility and is time consuming in completing the necessary Disability Tax Credit forms.
- Even if you did not qualify for Disability Tax Credit in the past, it is worth applying again as the eligibility criteria always changes.
- Also this Disability Tax Credit is often overlooked because of a belief that disability is restricted to individuals confined to a bed, wheelchair or you many not think of yourself as disabled, but a number of familiar conditions may make you eligible.
