Disability Tax Credit self-check
A quick, private way to gauge whether the Disability Tax Credit (DTC) is worth pursuing. Nothing you enter leaves this page. This is an educational self-check, not tax advice or a decision from the Canada Revenue Agency. Eligibility is decided by the CRA based on Form T2201, completed with a qualified practitioner. That is not only a doctor: optometrists, audiologists, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, psychologists and speech-language pathologists can all certify impairments within their own scope of practice, while doctors and nurse practitioners can certify any category (CRA, how to apply).
This tool reflects the general categories the CRA uses and does not capture every situation. A “yes” here is not approval, and a “no” does not mean you cannot apply. The form that decides it is the T2201. A doctor or nurse practitioner can certify any category, and an optometrist, audiologist, occupational therapist, physiotherapist, psychologist or speech-language pathologist can certify within their own scope, so you may not need a family doctor appointment to apply. When in doubt, apply.
