The disability tax credit is the gateway
One approval unlocks several other things, so it is worth starting early.
Approval for the disability tax credit is what opens the registered disability savings plan and the related federal disability benefit. The application is completed with the treating clinician, so start the screening at the first specialist appointment rather than later.
The child benefit applies to the children who are still under 18; apply as soon as residency allows, because payments are not back-dated indefinitely.
Eligibility depends on residency status, each child's age and family income, and rates are reviewed annually. These are estimates until the tax agency assesses the family.
