Anyone familiar with this? My new nurse is going to look into it for me. I read up on it and tried two calculators that gave me wildly different answers.
I’m not eligible. Too functional.

I think I’m too high-functioning for the Canadian disability tax credit. I’m on ODSP though. I’m hoping to return to the workforce one day.
To be eligible for the Disability Tax Credit (DTC) in Canada, you must123:
- Be a Canadian citizen or Permanent Resident of Canada.
- Have a severe and prolonged impairment or marked restricted in 1 of the categories.
- Have a severe impairment in physical and/or mental functions all or substantially all of the time.
- This impairment should have lasted or is expected to last for a continuous period of at least one year.
- A qualified practitioner needs to certify that your impairment is severe and prolonged by completing the Disability Tax Credit Certificate, (otherwise known as the T2201 form)3.
- You must show that you became markedly restricted in one basic activity of daily living4.
- There are several medical conditions that qualify for the DTC4.

Perhaps I am also too high functioning. I didn’t ask them to do it for me, it was their idea. I think my sister has it for her condition but that’s a genetic disorder that can only be possibly ‘cured’ by gene splicing or something of that nature.
