At Swift, we strive to educate Canadians about the different kinds of disabilities and to better understand the Disability Tax Credit. To make it easier to determine if your disability qualifies for the DTC or not, we have compiled a thorough list of eligible disabilities. If you’re still unsure whether you qualify for disability tax benefits, contact us at 1-800-983-1969 for advice about DTC eligibility and to start your application process. The average client we work with gets a refund of more than $10,000 in less than 4 months.
