The Disability Tax Credit in Alberta
Alberta’s disability programs changed in July 2026. Here is where the credit fits.
One credit, the same rules in every province
The rules to qualify are the same in Alberta as anywhere in Canada: a severe and prolonged impairment, certified by a medical practitioner. What differs is the value, because Alberta adds its own disability amount on the provincial part of your return.
AISH and the new Alberta Disability Assistance Program (ADAP)
On July 2, 2026 Alberta launched the Alberta Disability Assistance Program (ADAP) for people whose disability substantially limits their ability to work. AISH continues for people whose disability permanently prevents them from working.
- AISH continues for people with severe or profound developmental disabilities, palliative or terminal conditions, residents of continuing care homes, and people aged 60 and over. Its maximum is $1,940 a month.
- Most other former AISH recipients moved to ADAP, which pays up to $1,740 a month. People who transitioned also receive a $200 monthly supplement until December 31, 2027.
- ADAP allows more earnings from work: $700 a month, or $1,100 with dependents, compared with $350 under AISH.
How this connects to the DTC
Neither AISH nor ADAP replaces the Disability Tax Credit, which is a federal tax measure with its own CRA approval. With the program changes this year, it is a good time to make sure you are also claiming the DTC and everything it unlocks.

I tried to do it alone and got denied but as soon as Canada Benefit helped out with the paperwork, everything started to go in the right direction. They kept me updated on everything and answered all my questions.
