Hi Betsy,
The T2201 forms are printable online... But to actually have the credit applied to your taxes for 2011's taxes a Dr needs to fill out the T2201, and it needs to be sent in together. It WILL delay the processing of your current taxes. If you are getting money back. and NEED it... You are better served in filling your taxes first, and then sending the T2201 form in with a T1adj for any and all years you are having the Disability applied to.
I am NOT a professional. I am a mom of a child who qualifies. It took 6 months for money to start rolling when we did hers though maybe it would be done faster in your circumstance... But that is why I said if you are getting money back already do not hold it up.

I was wondering that myself. I've been getting CPP disability benefit since 2010. Wouldn't that qualify me? I almost want to go ahead and claim as disabled and see what happens... I'll look into it in the mean time.
It's better to beg for forgiveness than to ask for permission! LOL

I just read the link... looks like it's for physically disabled. Not the "near death" disabled. Ugh! So dumb! I'm gonna ask my psychiatrist and physiotherapist to see what they think.
I don't think an ill person who can't work work, should pay the same amount of income tax... CPP disability is only $900 ish a month! And private insurance only give 50-70% of your usual salary. I have already missed a couple mortgage payments. And I have cancer friends who are losing their houses!!!

Physical, mental, or ability challenged. It can apply with a wide variety of things... If insomnia, or arthritis count because they limit your ability to a quality of life... FILE!

If you are receiving CPP disability, yes you can. I've been applying for it for the last 6 years. Give Revenue Canada a call and they will advise you which forms they need filled out by your doctor. It makes a huge difference. This last time, instead of paying $300.00, I get $600.00 back.

Sorry, computer shut down on me before I could finish. The medical forms that Revenue Canada requires need only to be filled out once. Unless your medical situation changes, that will be the only time you have to submit them.

I have to note that they have a 5 year re-file so once every 5 years. The only exception to that is the under 18 seem to get till the year they are 18, and then they need to re-submit current paperwork.
That said it is 5 years going forward but put your Dx date as your start date even if it is 4 years or more in the past. They will then backdate 2 or 3 years for some benefits but you can file t1adj's that would go back to any years covered and they would adjust your taxes.
