Woil replied to pro's discussion 'Disability Tax Credit and Type 2 Diabetes'"Good links and info in those posts, nel. I don't see that applying anytime soon for myself, but Type 2s with the added items on your list definitely look eligible.
The key is the requirement for life-sustaining therapy (insulin, which I…"
Woil replied to pro's discussion 'Disability Tax Credit and Type 2 Diabetes'"I can't speak for the American rules, but they don't sound much different than Canada. Under the old rules my wife easily qualified for the DTC, but the government must be under pressure from the increasing number of claims being entered.…"
Kathy replied to pro's discussion 'Disability Tax Credit and Type 2 Diabetes'"I think the only disability that qualifies for a tax credit is if one is blind or legally blind. I know as a Deaf person I certainly don't qualify. Why the discrepancy I don't have the slightest idea but I do know that legally blind people…"

Howie767 replied to pro's discussion 'Disability Tax Credit and Type 2 Diabetes'"Same thing is happening in the UK, causing tremendous stress to those truly entitled to financial assistance. It wouldn't shock me if the Canadian Government pulled the same kind of stunt on diabetics receiving the DTC. Time will tell.

Woil replied to pro's discussion 'Disability Tax Credit and Type 2 Diabetes'"We have had a little experience with the disability tax credit (Canada).

Type 2 Diabetes and the Disability Tax Credit
Posted on February 8, 2013 at 7:32am 0 Comments 0 Likes
I have recently found out about the tax certificate and would like some help from the GURUS here(LOL)My doctor who specializes in diabetes is an older man and has some doubts that the Tax Credit can be applied to type 2 diabetes. In addition he asked me for a list of things that would apply to the life-sustaining therapy section and the 14 hour rule. I take insulin and victoza via injection ,metformin and gliclazide orally.Any and all help gratefully appreciated and accepted.

Linda G said… Good that you're on top of things pro!! Yes....looking for a more "aware" doc is a good move, and if your family physician fits the bill..even better!
Talk to someone at the CDA...many offices in Toronto. Main one downtown on Yonge I think. Check on-line.

Welcome home pro...fellow Ontarian. Holy Moly...your doc needs help! Life sustaining....isn't insulin life-sustaining therapy lol? What about meds? Life style....all of these are NEEDED in order to maintain stable bg, and to prevent complications. Is that NOT life-sustaining, regardless of Type 1 or Type 2? What the heck is wrong with that doctor!!! Geez!
