How it works

Three clear steps

Personal guidance—not a high-volume claims mill. We walk with you from first questions through CRA follow-through.

    Check if benefits fit

    Start with a short assessment about daily living impacts. We’ll help you see whether pursuing the DTC, CPP-D, or provincial disability fits your situation.

  2. 2

    Share your story

    In a supportive intake with a Registered Social Worker, we capture how impairments affect day-to-day life—not just diagnoses. You set the pace.

  3. 3

    Submit with support

    We help build a clear, provider-ready picture for your doctor or practitioner, coordinate paperwork, and stay with you through CRA or program decisions.

Healthcare Provider Support

How We Help Your Doctor or Nurse Practitioner

Physicians and clinicians are extremely busy. Form T2201 Part B and CPP-D medical reports require specific, criteria-aligned functional language that standard chart notes don’t always capture.

  • Provider-Ready Summaries: We translate your daily living impacts into clear, clinical summaries your doctor can easily review and certify.
  • Zero Clinical Intrusion: We respect your provider’s medical judgment and authority—we simply organize the factual functional evidence.
  • Reduced Doctor Stress: Saves your clinician hours of paperwork and prevents unnecessary application rejections or delays.

For Healthcare Professionals

Are you a physician, nurse practitioner, or allied health clinician looking for structured functional impact summaries for your patient’s DTC or CPP-D application?

What benefits can mean

Why families explore these programs

Outcomes depend on each program's decision. Here's the high-level picture—without guarantees.

Possible tax relief

If approved, the DTC may reduce income tax for you or a supporting family member.

Prior years

In some cases, CRA may recognize eligibility for previous years—subject to their rules.

Self, child, or dependant

Support whether you’re applying for yourself or someone you care for.

Not affiliated with the CRA. General guidance only—not legal, tax, medical, or financial advice. Approval is never guaranteed.
