When you called to tell me what we were getting back I didn’t believe you until I saw the cheque a few days later. I’m still speechless!
The Disability Tax Credit in Newfoundland and Labrador
Here, an approved credit also unlocks the provincial Disability Benefit.
One credit, the same rules in every province
The rules to qualify are the same in Newfoundland and Labrador as anywhere in Canada: a severe and prolonged impairment, certified by a medical practitioner. What differs is the value, because Newfoundland and Labrador adds its own disability amount on the provincial part of your return.
Newfoundland and Labrador Disability Benefit
The Newfoundland and Labrador Disability Benefit is a provincial payment for residents with a disability who live on a low income.
- Up to $400 a month ($4,800 a year) for people aged 18 to 64.
- A valid federal Disability Tax Credit certificate is required.
- There is no separate application. Eligibility is assessed automatically from your tax return and DTC status, so you must file your taxes.
- The full amount is paid when income is below $29,402, with partial amounts up to the province’s income thresholds.

How this connects to the DTC
This is one of the clearest examples of the DTC acting as a gateway: without an approved DTC, residents cannot receive the provincial Disability Benefit at all.
Client Testimonials
This money was life-changing for us and we can't thank Canada Benefit Group enough.
I appreciate all the hard work you put in. I don't think I would have been able to do this on my own.
Amazing service all the way through the process. Canada Benefit Group made it stress-free and easy for me.
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.
This is the greatest news I could have expected. Thank you so much for your help. I would never have gotten anything for my son if I never came across your company.
I plan on putting a down payment on a house with this money. Thank you so much Canada Benefit Group!
I just received my payment and can’t thank you guys enough for all of your help and support. I will highly recommend others to contact you if they find themselves in the same situation that I did.
