Brochure explains disability tax credit CMAJ 1997;156:1691 Physicians have a new tool to help them work with patients who want to claim the federal Disability Tax Credit. Revenue Canada has produced a patient brochure, Disability Tax Credit and You, that clearly outlines eligibility requirements for claiming this credit. "It is the effect of a disability on your ability to perform the basic activities of daily living that qualifies you for the credit, not the ailment or condition itself," says the brochure, which lists 8 screening questions for patients. Physicians who want copies for their offices can visit www.rc.gc.ca or call Revenue Canada in the Government of Canada section of the telephone book.
