The DTC provides substantial tax relief for individuals with severe impairments, but many legitimate claims are denied. We provide strategic legal support to navigate the complex application and appeals process.
Despite its importance, the DTC application process can be complex and frustrating. Many legitimate claims are denied due to incomplete forms, unclear medical information, or a misunderstanding of the eligibility criteria by the CRA.
As tax lawyers, we offer confidential, privilege-protected legal advice and strategic support at every stage of the process—from first-time applications to challenging unfair denials in Tax Court.
