Government Review of Disability Tax Credit

Important news! The Government of Canada via the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) is looking to improve the application process for the Disability Tax Credit (DTC).  This credit allows people with disabilities to set up a Registered Disability Savings Plan which allows them to save money for their futures. The CRA has an online survey you can fill out to state improvements you think would be helpful.  I think it is important that they acknowledge the episodic nature of mental health issues and ensure that this is not a barrier to DTC approval. Also long waiting lists to access qualified professionals who can fill out the medical portion of the DTC application can be a barrier. Let's hope our voices will be heard.
