Tax Benefits and Credits
Disability Tax Credit
The disability tax credit (DTC) is a non-refundable tax credit that helps persons with disabilities or their supporting persons reduce the amount of income tax they may have to pay.
Canada Disability Benefit and T1D
Applications for the Canada Disability Benefit are now open! Canadians living with T1D between the ages of 18 to 64 can apply for the benefit if they have qualified for the disability tax credit and meet the benefit’s other eligibility requirements. Apply online, by phone, or in person, and visit the Canada Disability Benefit website.
Information on the RDSP
