Disability Tax Credit Denied? The $7,872 CRA Rule Most Doctors Miss

Connor is a 41-year-old elementary school teacher in Hamilton who has lived with Crohn's disease since he was 29 and was diagnosed with ADHD at 38. His doctor filled out his T2201 form, mailed it in, and six weeks later CRA sent a denial letter. Connor assumed the decision was final. What the denial letter never mentioned was a provision in the Income Tax Act called the cumulative effect rule — which would have approved him on the first try.

This video covers why CRA's "all or substantially all of the time" threshold (interpreted as roughly 90 per cent) fails episodic conditions like Crohn's, ADHD, anxiety and autoimmune disease, why the cumulative effect rule exists specifically to bridge this gap, the math behind a $1,968 annual credit plus $7,872 retroactive over four years, and how to request a reconsideration or file a Notice of Objection after a denial.

If you or someone in your family was denied the Disability Tax Credit, the denial is not the end of the process. It is often the beginning.
