Canada Disability Child Benefit
The child disability benefit (CDB) is a tax-free monthly payment made to families who care for a child under age 18 with a severe and prolonged impairment in physical or mental functions. To be eligible you must qualify for the Canada Child Benefit and the Disability Tax Credit.
Canada’s Workers Benefit (CWB) Disability Supplement
The CWB helps people with low income who get most of their income from employment. If you qualify for the DTC and are working, you may also receive more support with the CWB Disability Supplement.
Canada Caregiver Credit (CCC)
The CCC is available to those who provide family members with physical or mental impairments with food, shelter and clothing. The tax credit is non-refundable. This means the government will not pay money for the credit if you do not owe income taxes. If your family member is eligible for the DTC, you do not need a signed letted from your doctor to receive the credit.
For information about these credits and other benefits check out BC Disability Alliance's DTC Help Sheet here.
The RDSP
The RDSP is unique to Canada and is widely considered the most important financial planning tool available for anyone concerned about the longterm financial wellbeing of a person with a disability. There is no cost to open an RDSP, and the financial benefits begin right away. With an RDSP you may be eligible for up to $90,000 of government grants and bonds.
