Eligibility
The Disability Tax Credit (DTC) program supports Canadians with prolonged or permanent impairments, or those with significant limitations affecting their daily activities. According to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), eligibility for the DTC largely depends on an individual’s ability to perform “Activities of Daily Living” (ADLs), such as bathing, dressing, walking, carrying, lifting, and other personal care tasks.
To qualify for the DTC, impairments are generally assessed in three main categories. However, eligibility is based on the severity of the impairment and how it impacts your ability to perform ADLs, not solely on the diagnosis.
Eligibility for the Disability Tax Credit isn’t just determined by a specific list of conditions but by how your daily life is impacted.
