You may be eligible for the DTC.

Take Form T2201, Disability Tax Credit Certificate, to a medical practitioner who can certify the effects of your impairment for you. If the medical practitioner certifies the form, send it to us for approval. We will review your form and advise you in writing if you are eligible for the DTC.

If you are eligible for the DTC, you may be able to claim the disability amount. For more information, see Claiming the disability amount.

You may have expenses that you can claim on your tax return. For more information, see Guide RC4064, Disability-Related Information, or use the following links:

• Canada caregiver credit
• Lines 33099 and 33199 – Eligible medical expenses you can claim on your return

You have told us:

• you receive life-sustaining therapy
• the therapy meets all of the following criteria:
  • the therapy is needed to support a vital function
  • the therapy is needed at least three times per week
  • the therapy is needed for an average of at least 14 hours per week
