What You Need to Know about Cana
Gradually, the world is becoming more disabled-friendly. Thanks to a combination of technology and research, disabled persons can now enjoy more independent and productive lives than ever before – allowing them to work and tend too many of their own needs. Equally important, however, is the role of government in proving financial and other assistance to make these improvements meaningful.
Life can be extremely difficult for a disabled person who may not have a reliable source of income or a support mechanism to help them get by each day. Our company understands those struggles, and works tirelessly to help people understand the circumstances of their or a loved one’s disability, specific eligibility requirements, and help them locate the assistance they need.
Who is Eligible? In most cases, that’s the first question when it comes to disability benefits in Canada. The government has specific requirements a person must meet in order to become disabled: • The person suffers from a physical or mental impairment which has lasted or is expected to last for more than 12 months. • The Canada Revenue Agency states the impairment must be severe, which means it “must restrict him or her all or the majority of the time.”
• The disabled person, or someone on his or her behalf, must complete Form T2201, the Disability Tax Credit Certificate. The certificate also has a section that needs to be filled out by a qualified practitioner to attest to the impairment in question. Who is considered a qualified practitioner? A medical doctor, optometrist, audiologist, occupational therapist, physiotherapist, psychologist, and speech language pathologist, among other specialties.
