Did you know your Disability Tax Credit (DTC) can do more than reduce your taxes?

An approved DTC can help you open a Registered Disability Savings Plan (RDSP)—a long-term savings plan designed to help Canadians with disabilities build financial security for the future.

One of the biggest benefits of an RDSP is that the Government of Canada may contribute through grants and bonds, helping your savings grow over time. For many individuals and families, this can mean thousands of dollars in additional support to help plan for future needs.

If you don't have an approved DTC, you may be missing out on access to an RDSP and the valuable government contributions that come with it.

At MADTI, we help Canadians determine their DTC eligibility and guide them through the application process so they can access the benefits and opportunities available to them.

Did you know? An approved Disability Tax Credit (DTC) can help you access the Canada Disability Benefit (CDB).

For eligible Canadians, the Canada Disability Benefit can provide up to $200 per month in additional financial support. However, one of the key requirements to qualify is having an approved Disability Tax Credit.

Many Canadians who may be eligible for the DTC have not yet applied and could be missing out on valuable financial assistance. If a disability affects your daily life, it may be worth exploring your eligibility and learning what benefits may be available to you.

At MADTI, we help simplify the DTC application process by guiding you through the paperwork and supporting you every step of the way.

Did you know the Disability Tax Credit (DTC) can help you access more than just tax savings?

Many Canadians are unaware that being approved for the DTC can open the door to additional programs and financial supports. Depending on your situation, it may help you qualify for benefits such as the Child Disability Benefit (CDB) as well as other provincial disability programs designed to provide ongoing financial assistance.

For families raising a child with a disability, these supports can help with some of the extra costs associated with care, treatment, specialized equipment, and everyday living expenses. For adults, DTC eligibility may also provide access to other valuable disability-related benefits and savings opportunities.

Reliable disability benefits matter.

Recent reports indicate that some Alberta disability benefit recipients received reduced or missing payments due to technical issues during the rollout of a new payment system, affecting approximately 2% of recipients.

As governments modernize programs and services, reliability, accessibility, and clear communication must remain priorities. People who depend on these benefits should be able to trust that support will be there when they need it most.

What are your thoughts? How can disability support systems better protect individuals and families during major program or technology changes?

Did you know? The Disability Tax Credit (DTC) isn't just for visible or physical disabilities.

Many Canadians are surprised to learn that conditions such as chronic pain, mental health disorders, neurological conditions, and other impairments that significantly affect daily living may qualify for the DTC. Eligibility is based on how a condition impacts a person's ability to perform everyday activities—not whether the disability is visible to others.

Unfortunately, many people assume they don't qualify and never apply. As a result, they may miss out on valuable tax credits and financial support that could help ease the extra costs often associated with living with a disability.

If you or a family member lives with a condition that affects daily life, it may be worth exploring your eligibility.

When Canadians think about disability, the conversation often focuses on health and accessibility. What is less visible is the significant financial burden many individuals and families face every day.

With 27% of Canadians aged 15 and older now living with a disability, the need for accessible supports and financial assistance continues to grow. Many Canadians with disabilities experience a difficult reality: lower earning potential, higher living costs, and challenges accessing the supports they need.

Our latest article explores the financial challenges facing Canadians with disabilities, using data from Statistics Canada to highlight why disability benefits play such an important role in helping individuals and families manage these pressures.
