Frequently Asked Questions
Before Applying
What is the Disability Tax Credit?
The Disability Tax Credit (DTC) is a non-refundable tax credit designed to help individuals with disabilities, or their supporting family members, reduce the amount of income tax they may have to pay. The goal of the DTC is to offset some of the extra costs associated with living with a disability.
Do I need a formal diagnosis to apply for the disability tax credit?
No, you don't need a formal medical diagnosis to complete the Disability Tax Credit Application on our website. However, we recommend talking to your medical practitioner about your condition to gather all the relevant information before starting your application. Collecting medical information from hospitals, clinics, and specialists can take some time.
What if I do not have a family doctor or one willing to sign my disability tax credit application?
We can help recommend a medical practitioner to review and potentially sign your application. If you need assistance, please contact us at [email protected]. Medical practitioners will need all relevant medical documentation to support your impairment, so please have all the necessary documents ready when we connect you with a practitioner.
I want to use your website to apply for the disability tax credit, but I am nervous about using your website and not understanding the questions or which answers are appropriate for me?
Don't worry. We offer a guided application from a trained DTC Navigator who will be with you from the beginning to the end of your application.

My family doctor does not agree with some of the comments in my Benefits2 disability tax credit application. How can they make ?
When you create/ download your DTC Application on our website you are provided a “code” that is emailed to you that you can bring to your appointment with your medical practitioner. During sign-up of your account on our website you are asked for your mobile number and when you provide this “code” to the medical practitioner you will be sent a second security secure code (2-Factor Authentication) to your mobile phone which the medical doctor can then enter on our website to proceed to access your application and then edit information and later print off and sign. The medical practitioner can access your application by visiting our website www.dtc.benefits2.ca and choosing the “Physician Access” button in the top right corner of our website.
