Yes I am receiving the tax credit. You must have difficulty walking and dressing or at least 2 medical problems that effect you most of the time. Your DR. will help you fill out the papers and you keep copies of everything you send to the Tax dept. Stress to your DR. all your problems and your pain level in your daily living situation. You can go back 4 years of taxes and get a refund if you inform them you have been disabled for the last 4 years .

This is why we need to get involved in the consultation process to make it better. http://www.esdc.gc.ca/en/consultations/disabili...

If you are going to go the way of http://www.mefmaction.com/index.php?option=com_... make sure it is free. Otherwise they take a huge chunk. I did mine on my own with my Dr and health worker.

They are currently doing disability consultations in Canada. I was checking the site that I put in last post.
Gives us an opportunity to make change her in Canada - YAY! http://www.mefmaction.com/index.php?option=com_...

OMG the Canadian one is so complex - you basically need to be blind, paralyzed. Don't recognize complex discorders. Check this out from the ME/FM Canadian action network Spring 2016:
Disability Tax Credit
Background
The DTC is a program which provides tax relief to
qualified individuals. It has also been expanded to be
the entry point into other benefits such as the Registered
Disability Savings Plan. The qualification criteria are
outlined in the Income Tax Act. The application form
(Form 2201) is filled out by the applicant and must be
signed by a designated health professional.
From our point of view, the application form does not
“speak the language” of ME/FM applicants, the process
in cumbersome, doctors are unsure how to complete the
form, and many forms are being sent back to doctors
for more information. We would like to work with the
program to find solutions so that people with ME/CFS
and FM who are deserving of the credit can receive it
without undue effort, cost and delay.

Definitely recommend joining this Canadian national action network - they are doing alot of advocate work in Canada.

i sent 10K out of pocket last year, my husband submitted as medical claims b/c it didn't seem like i would fit into the box the current form. Now we are being audited - which is kinda funny b/c they gave us very little tax credit. Good to know you can go back years!!!
