The "Disability Amount"

Applying for the "disability amount", formerly tagged the "disability tax credit", is often the first step taken by those that consider themselves disabled. If you meet the specific criteria defining a severe and prolonged disability, you will be eligible for the non refundable "disability amount" tax credit every year. As well, attaining eligibility for the "disability amount" opens up access to other benefits and credits.

Unfortunately, we often find our guidance is necessary because individuals aren’t even aware that they have a disability that meets the criteria for the tax credit. We see this often occur as people age and enter their Senior years.

While application for the benefit is most often the first step, it is also one of the most cumbersome. There are strict criteria defining an eligible disability. Initial applications, without assistance, are more often rejected than accepted. Frustration often leads to individuals giving up on what they're due.
