You’re right it is very hard to qualify apparently. A paralegal I know has never had a client with invisible disabilities get the CRA credit. I know of one person who got the disability tax credit for herself and her children but I’m not sure what she told them in the part of the application the person completes for themselves. She was working for Dr. J. at the time so I know the doctor’s information would have been done well.
By the way, this is not new. ADHD has been recognized as a disability for many years. I got the bursary for disabled students from the Ontario Student loans program back in 1998. Since I’ve been on ODSP for years now (for my ADD) the CRA credit would not make any difference to me; the only tax refund I get is the Ontario Tax Credit relating to the rent I pay.
It’s always worth it to take every tax credit we can! Good luck.
