What to Do If Your Disability Tax Credit Was Denied
A denied DTC application does not always mean the situation is hopeless. Sometimes the original application did not clearly explain the daily-life impact or did not align well with CRA categories.
Common reasons applications may be denied
- The form focused on diagnosis instead of functional limitations.
- Daily-life examples were too vague.
- The duration or severity was unclear.
- The wrong section of the T2201 was emphasized.
- The medical certification did not provide enough detail.
What to do next
Review the CRA decision letter carefully. A professional can help identify whether a review, additional information, or reapplication may be worthwhile.
