Disability Tax Credit (DTC)
Clinical Documentation Support for Federal Disability Tax Credit Applications
What Is the Disability Tax Credit?
The Disability Tax Credit (DTC) is a federal non-refundable tax credit administered by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). It is designed to reduce income tax for individuals living with severe and prolonged impairments that substantially affect daily functioning.
Approval for the DTC may also provide access to additional federal benefits, including the Registered Disability Savings Plan (RDSP) and Child Disability Benefit.

Neurodiversity and DTC Eligibility
ADHD
ADHD may qualify for the DTC when symptoms result in marked and persistent impairments in mental functions necessary for everyday life, including attention, executive functioning, planning, memory, or self-regulation.
A diagnosis alone does not guarantee eligibility,the CRA evaluates functional impact, not diagnostic labels.
Autism
Autism Spectrum Disorder may qualify for the DTC when there is a severe and prolonged restriction in daily functioning, including communication, sensory regulation, social navigation, or adaptive living skills.
As with ADHD, eligibility is based on documented functional impairment over time
Medical Expense Tax Credit (Lines 33099 & 33199)
Fees paid to qualified medical practitioners for completing disability tax documentation may be claimed as eligible medical expenses on your income tax return under:
• Line 33099 – Self, spouse, or dependants under 18
• Line 33199 – Dependants age 18 or older
This may include the cost of completing Form T2201 and associated clinical documentation.
(Clients are encouraged to consult the CRA or a tax professional for individual guidance.)
