About the Canadian Disability Tax Credit (DTC), for medical practitioners

Thank you for your help certifying the Disability Tax Credit. In order to qualify for the DTC, you’ll need to certify your patient’s restrictions to “activities of daily living.”

Supporting your patient with the Disability Tax Credit application can help them access significant financial support both for their immediate needs and to save for their their financial futures. This can lead to greater health can financial wellbeing.

Many more patients may qualify for the DTC than you may think. Even though many people living with chronic physical or mental health conditions, in 2018, it was found that only 40% of those eligible have successfully benefitted from the DTC. This means that even fewer people are accessing the other significant benefits that are connected to the DTC.
