Physical Impairment
Disability Tax Credit covers impairment
of walking, dressing, speaking, hearing, feeding, elimination (bowel or
bladder function) and other associated disabilities. Also disability tax credit applies to individuals with prosthetics or orthotics.
Mental Function
Disability tax credit covers mood disorders, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, mental health and learning disability.
Disability tax credit covers mental functions like depression and stress.
Process of Disability Tax Credit
The eligibility is based on the effect of the impairment rather than the presence.
A person may be eligible to apply for DCT if he or she has a mental or physical impairment that is severe and lasted at least 12 consecutive months.
If you have a disabled child who qualifies under one of the areas-physical impairment and/or mental function; your child's DCT may be transferred to a guardian-the caregiver.
Many disability tax credit claims are denied due to technical errors or lack of pertinent information.
With A Step Beyond & Associates, we can identify the obstacles that leave potential uncertainties for clients who are applying for disability tax credit.
An improperly completed application limits the chances of approval.
