Important notes on patient eligibility
• Eligibility for the DTC is not based solely on the presence of a medical condition. It is based on the impairment resulting from a condition
and the effects of that impairment on the patient. Eligibility, however, is not based on the patient's ability to work, to do housekeeping
activities, or to engage in recreational activities.
• A person may be eligible for the DTC if they have a severe and prolonged impairment in physical or mental functions resulting in a marked
restriction. A marked restriction means that, even with appropriate therapy, devices, and medication, they are unable or take an inordinate
amount of time in one impairment category,
all or substantially all
(generally interpreted as 90% or more) of the time. If their limitations
do not meet the criteria for one impairment category alone, they may still be eligible if they experience significant limitations in two or more
categories.
For more information about the DTC, including examples and eligibility criteria, see
Guide RC4064, Disability-Related Information
, or go
to
canada.ca/disability-tax-credit
.
Next steps
Step 1
– Fill out the sections of the form on pages 4-15 that are applicable to your patient.
When considering your patient’s limitations, assess them compared to someone of similar age who does not have an impairment in that
particular category. If your patient experiences limitations in more than one category, they may be eligible under the "Cumulative effect of
significant limitations" section on page 14.
If you want to provide more information than the space allows, use a separate sheet of paper, sign it, and attach it to this form. Make sure
to include the name of the patient at the top of all pages.
Step 2
– Fill out the "Certification" section on page 16 and sign the form.
Step 3
– You or your patient can send this form to the CRA when both Part A and Part B are filled out and signed (refer to page 16 for
instructions).
The CRA will review the information provided to determine your patient's eligibility and advise your patient of its decision. If more
information is needed, the CRA may contact you.

•
The therapy is needed at least
2 times per week
(3 times a week for years prior to 2021).
•
The therapy is needed for an average of at least

Eligible activities that count towards the 14 hours per week:
• Activities directly related to adjusting and administering dosage of
medication or determining the amount of a compound that can be safely
consumed
