Looking for help with your Disability Tax Credit (DTC) or Canada Disability Benefit (CDB) application? You may be able to get individualized help from a non-profit organization that has been trained and funded to help.
The Disability Tax Credit and Canada Disability Benefit are important income-related programs for people who experience severe disabilities and who are living on low incomes. Some individuals face unique barriers when it comes to completing their application for the Disability Tax Credit (DTC). Being approved for the DTC is required before an individual can apply for the Canada Disability Benefit.
The Canadian government has funded several non-profit organizations to help people navigate the application process for Disability Tax Credit and the Canada Disability Benefit. These organizations provide direct disability benefit navigation services to persons with disabilities and their families and caregivers. The Canadian government recently expanded the list of organizations that are funded to provide this type of support.
