ā€œAdditionally, Canadians with disabilities who are eligible for the Disability Tax Credit but have not yet applied, would have a 60-day window of opportunity to do so after Royal Assent.ā€

This is funny considering the current review time on a DTC application is more than 90 days.

I believe if youā€™re on CPPD you wonā€™t qualify as the Disability Tax Credit is separate? That sound correct? Thx

I think it covers anybody getting CPPD or that has a DTC.
Maybe someone can find the definition of disability in the document.

31

Yes people on cppd do now qualify for the one time payment.

So, if this goes through, do most the insurance companies then deduct that from your monthly check because they would say itā€™s extra income?

34

Did anyone thatā€™s just on CPPD get the $600? Iā€™m assuming you had to be getting the disability tax credit to receive those funds?

Thx

35

I think it says fall.
I hope by Oct.

I called Service Canada regarding the one-time payment of $600 for people with disabilities. The agent told me that the one-time payment will be issued ā€œsometime in the Fall.ā€

the $600 is for CPPD and DTC. You can only get one payment though. They will direct deposit it this sometime before end of year.

Thanks you so much for applying. This is honestly the most helpful website with being on long term disability and applying for CPP- itā€™s helped me through each process. Thank you!

Yes. Itā€™s been on CRA website quoted as such. Pretty open ended date ā€œsometime in the fallā€. Iā€™d like to know what the legal date for ā€œfallā€ is in legislationā€¦freaking joke! Measly $600 one time payment and they canā€™t even give us a payment date. Meanwhile ā€¦like wthšŸ˜”

It may have depended on the Liberals being in power after Wednesday.

These funds have already been authorized so I donā€™t think who is in political power will make a difference.
