Apologies if this post isn’t Leaf-centric enough. It just made me happy as a huge fan

Applied for the Disability Tax Credit last year for my husband and now I wish we had done it sooner!

We filled out part A of the form, then got our family doctor to fill out part B, for which he charged $60. After waiting about 3 months for this to be processed, he is now approved for DTC indefinitely.

His last few tax returns were re-assessed (I believe this can go back as far as ten years, where applicable), which got him a fair amount of money, and claiming it on this year’s tax return got us even more. I should say though that my tax return this year took much longer than prior years to be processed, likely because of his unused credits being transferred to me. So, basically, if you’re patient and can spare some money for a doctor’s fee, I highly recommend applying.

As far as I know, T1D folks are automatically eligible now, so you just have to go through the hassle of applying. I only learned of this through reading Reddit posts so I feel morally obligated to spread the word.

Anyways, much love to all you T1D homies. I’m sorry for all the shit you gotta deal with day to day. If this post helps even one person it’ll be more than worth it.
