Disability tax credit (DTC)
The Disability tax credit (DTC) is a tax credit available to people with disabilities that helps reduce the amount of income tax. Any individual with a disability who is over 18 years old may be eligible to use the DTC benefit.
In general, the purpose of the disability tax credit is to provide relief for the costs of disability through more significant tax equity.
To prove eligibility, your doctor must complete form T2201 proving that you have a severe and prolonged disability.
Long-Term Disability (LTD)
If you have acquired an injury or illness and cannot return to work, long-term disability insurance may provide you with part of your income. The purpose of long-term disability is to make up for any financial difficulties you may experience due to not returning to work due to a health problem.
To qualify for long-term insurance, you must have been out of work continuously for 17 weeks or more. That is, you must have gone through the short-term disability process. In this process, your disability is financed by your employer.
To be sure of this situation, consult a disability lawyer for more information. At Juzkiw law, we have experienced professionals who can help you claim your rights.
The most long-term disability defines total disability when you cannot perform the essential functions of your job, even though you can complete the tasks of another occupation for the initial 24 months. After 24 months, the definition of disability change is changed from the occupation’s total disability to any work.
It is quite common for long-term disability claims to be denied. There are numerous reasons for this:
- Misrepresentation
- Missing medical records or evidence
- Requests or appeals missing deadlines
- Insufficient treatment compliance
- Policy exclusions
- Complainants only not meeting the definition of the law
