WCB / VAC / LTD Documentation

Why We Need Your Medical Documents?
We are honored to review and authenticate your Disability Tax Credit (DTC) application. Medical documentation must thoroughly support the impairments for all years specified in the DTC application, especially for past years. A diagnosis report alone is often insufficient for requesting coverage for previous years; additional documentation must validate how the impairments impacted you during those times. Medication prescriptions, labels, or lab results cannot sufficiently support the application on their own, as they only indicate diagnosis and/or treatment and do not fully demonstrate how the impairments affect your daily living activities and functioning.
The CRA audits almost 50% of applications, requesting records reviewed to determine DTC eligibility. By having these records ahead of time, we can respond to audits promptly.
Will There Be Doctor's Fees for Medical Records?
When we request medical records on your behalf, please be aware of the following:
Doctor's Fees: Any fees invoiced or charged by the doctors for providing your medical records will need to be paid directly by you to them. These fees are not covered by the additional amount we charge for requesting records.
Invoice Handling: If an invoice is sent to us from a request we made for your records, we will email you the invoice. You can then decide if you want to pay it and have the doctor send us the requested records.
What Happens When CRA Requests More Information?
When the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) requests more information regarding your Disability Tax Credit (DTC) application, here's what you can expect:
Doctor's Response: The doctor who signed your DTC application will receive the request directly from CRA. This may take 2-3 weeks due to processing times and mail delivery. The doctor will respond within CRA's specified timeframe.
CRA Review Period: CRA typically takes up to 60 days to review the additional information and make a decision. This timeframe is standard and does not indicate the outcome.
Providing Additional Documentation: If you have further medical documentation that supports your application, please send it to us. We will add it to your file to provide CRA with as much relevant information as possible.
Tracking CRA Correspondence: Please send us a copy of the full letter that CRA sent you. This helps us track which tax office and agents are handling your case.
Communication: We will keep you informed via email once the response is sent off to CRA from our end.
