Back to Who Qualifies
DTC for Mobility & Neurological Conditions
Chronic Pain, MS, Parkinson's, Stroke, Spinal Cord Injuries
Mobility impairments and neurological conditions that markedly restrict your ability to walk or perform daily activities can qualify for the Disability Tax Credit. This includes conditions affecting movement, balance, coordination, and neurological function.
What CRA Looks For
- Marked restriction in walking — unable to walk 100 metres on level ground without assistance
- Marked restriction in dressing, feeding, or other basic activities of daily living
- Need for assistive devices or personal assistance for mobility
- Significant impact on daily functioning due to neurological symptoms
- Condition must be prolonged (lasting at least 12 months)
Examples of Qualifying Situations
Multiple sclerosis affecting mobility, balance, and daily functioning
Parkinson's disease impacting movement, coordination, and daily activities
Stroke after-effects causing mobility restrictions or cognitive impairment
Spinal cord injuries limiting walking and daily living activities
Chronic pain conditions that markedly restrict walking or daily activities
Cerebral palsy affecting movement and daily activity performance
Why Applications Get Denied
- Application does not adequately describe the extent of mobility restrictions
- Medical practitioner focuses on diagnosis rather than functional limitations
- Insufficient detail about the need for assistive devices or personal assistance
- Form does not address all affected areas of daily living
- Episodic conditions not properly documented for cumulative impact
