How the credit works alongside ODSP.
The rules to qualify are the same in Ontario as anywhere in Canada: a severe and prolonged impairment, certified by a medical practitioner. What differs is the value, because Ontario adds its own disability amount on the provincial part of your return.
ODSP is Ontario’s income and employment support program for adults with a disability who are in financial need. It is run by the province and is separate from the Disability Tax Credit, which is a federal tax measure.
ODSP and the DTC are separate applications with separate approvals. Being on ODSP does not mean you have the Disability Tax Credit. If you are on ODSP, it is worth checking whether you also qualify for the DTC and the programs it unlocks, such as the Registered Disability Savings Plan.
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.
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.
This money was life-changing for us and we can't thank Canada Benefit Group enough.
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!
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.
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!
