My spouse was approved for 7 years for the Disability tax credit. Anyone know how long it takes for Service Canada to calculate the refund? He was approved 3 weeks ago but so far online I do not see any adjustments in process ---

Do you mean tax adjustment for CPP-D lump sum or tax returns for previous years? For tax returns, you have to send a letter to CRA asking to adjust those years that you were approved for. ---

When he received the notice that he had been approved for the Disability Tax Credit (Not CPP-D) -the letter stated that they would do all the adjustments as we had directed them to when we applied for the credit. I might send a letter too-just to make sure. ---

> [@Elaine](#): > > For tax returns, you have to send a letter to CRA asking to adjust those years that you were approved for. They did my previous years automatically. I’m sort of guessing based on the dates of tax returns but I think it took 2 months to adjust my tax returns after I was approved for the DTC. It may depend on how busy they are though. It can’t hurt to call them and check the status. > [@allyoops](#): > > He was approved 3 weeks ago I would wait a couple of months before calling. ---

Thanks Jammer! I will wait a few more weeks. Just before the Christmas holidays would be great-although most of it will be going towards bills and property taxes ---

If you have access to a computer and I’m assuming you do, there may be an online site to check their progress. Sorry, I don’t have a link for you. ---
