Because that’s what disabled people need…more barriers?
This is kinda like telling someone in a wheelchair that there’s a ramp to help them, but they’ve got to navigate a bumpy, uphill street and then climb a flight of stairs to get to the ramp.
The article seems to miss and overlook the fact that the benefit is a measly $200/mo because the provinces stated in talks that anything more and they would just claw it back from their provincial disability benefit. Hell, Alberta is already committed to clawing back the $200!
Yet again, another problem solely the problem and responsibility of the provinces blamed entirely on the federal government.
But don’t worry everyone, I’m sure the provinces won’t elect yet another conservative government that won’t lift a finger for the most vulnerable
As a medical professional who fills out the DTC this article kind of annoys me.
>Some medical practitioners also charge a fee for completing the DTC application
Yes, we do deserve to be compensated for our time, actually.
>The second barrier is meeting the “stringent” [medical criteria](https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/tax/individuals/segments/tax-credits-deductions-persons-disabilities/disability-tax-credit/eligible-dtc.html), which is not based on a person’s diagnosis, but how severely their condition impacts them.
You can agree or disagree with this, but that’s the purpose behind the DTC. It is a not a tax credit for anyone with any form of disability. It is for people who are significantly disabled in one (or several) ways. I can’t tell you how many people come to me trying to get this who only have minor concerns. Usually because their accountant has encouraged them to find someone to sign off on any medical problem to get a tax break.
Then don’t apply. She’s being offered free money because she claims she can’t work and all she has to do is verify that she can’t work. She’s in no position to be criticizing the terms of a gift.
