disability tax credit questions

I have been receiving disability tax credit for my twin son for years, but every few years evaluation are done, but my sons pediatrican doctor retired and I don't have a new doctor for him. I went to one of my sons doctors annual appointment and asked him (doctor) if he can fill up the papers and said he can't cuz he did not fill them up the first time. Does this mean he won't be entitled to his DTC anymore? Feeling discouraged. Where my son did his physiotherapy/ergo therapy and speech therapy is no longer being seen by anyone because he was starting school at the time and was doing therapy in school, but no longer needs therapy in school because he got better, but is still in a specialized school. What else can I do? Can anybody help me? Need the papers to be filled out by the time I do my income tax this year.

Spoke to the secretary of my sons neurosurgeon and said the doctor can't do it cuz he is no longer being followed by him. Is she right for saying this? Sorry for the long post.

I could be wrong but without the doctors sign off I believe he would no longer be eligible for the DTC. Have you considered getting a second opinion?

I have asked other doctors he is being followed and said no.
Can I speak to someone at my sons school?

how old is your son dimaa?

9 years old

Hello,

I recently applied for the child disability for my 11 years old son with severe adhd and odd.

My Dr received this questionnaire and I want to share the questions here:

Can your patient perform his daily living skills at a level expected for. Child of the same age ( e.g,. Personal hygiene, follow simple instructions) ?

Can your patient express his basic needs and respond to social interactions appropriately as compare to a child of the same age ?

Does your patient have a severe developmental delay that affect his daily functioning ?

Can your patient make age-appropriate decisions and judgements in day to day situations (e.g., playground and home safety , crossing the streets safety )?

Does your patient have basic impulse control as would be expected for a child of the same age ?

Does your patient require one on one support to function at home and at school?

Does your. Patient have. Severe memory impairment ( unable to remember basic personal information such as his street address or telephone , impaired concept of time )?

Can your patient adapt to minor changes in his environment or daily routine ?
In each question said provide details, examples.

I hope this help.

My Dr answer yes to almost all

She answer not to:

have a severe development delay and severe memory impairment.


My son has adhd and odd but he also has suicidal thoughts ( is incredible hard ) that affect him outside at home and at school, they are named intrusive thoughts. And they scare him every time they cross his mind he start to panic.

So I reapplied and sent the paperwork in Dec 9. January 23, DD's pediatrician received the questionnaire, filled it in, and returned it. Today I see online that she is eligible back to 2005! I can't wait to get her RDSP started up! She's going to need it.

First post all though I have been reading a lot. My son ADHD, ODD, SPD, GAD, PTSD. Dr filled out both forms & he was still denied. His days everyday is spent battling these mental health issues but the gov of Canada doesn't seem to want to recognize them as a true disability. He is also on 3 psychiatric meds. I will file an appeal but just so sad & frustrated for my guy.

im so sorry to read this , did you saw what the Dr wrote on the questionnaire ?

Yes both forms a copy was sent to me. She was very clear both times & on the 2nd questionare she answered yes to all questions. Even the fellow on the phone today said after I read him what the Dr wrote "wow thats pretty clear". He suggested I write a hand written letter describing in full detail the daily "meltdowns " I have done a letter stating how each one of his disabilities affects his daily life. I will also include a letter from therapist & med list from pharmacy. I will also photocopy & send both previous forms filled out by Dr.
