Canada

I'm not surprised. I'm disabled, but I don't have a family doctor or a doctor who could fill the form. Doctors tend to be so advert to filling forms to begin with. I think the form has to be renewed yearly as well.

It would be much simpler if being on a provincial disability program would automatically qualify us for the federal program. It can be hell getting into a disability program, I had to resort to a lawyer after being denied twice. I just don't have the energy to fight with another level of bureaucracy.

Because it's often a nightmare to sign up for, which is why you hear of lawyers who specifically handle DTC.

Usually that kind of thing means that either it's not obvious that such a tax credit exists, or it's too much of a hassle to apply for. Both of these things have obvious remediation strategies.
