Disability tax credit forms: CRA T2201 and Revenu Québec certificates

The CRA and Revenu Québec certificates a clinician completes to confirm a patient's impairment or treatment, with who can sign each one and how it is sent.

The CRA decides disability tax credit (DTC) eligibility from a medical practitioner's certification on the Disability Tax Credit Certificate (T2201). You complete Part B, on the effects of the patient's impairment, and the applicant completes Part A. An approved DTC also gives access to the Canada Disability Benefit, the Child Disability Benefit and the RDSP. For Quebec's disability amount, Revenu Québec has its own Certificate Respecting an Impairment (TP-752.0.14, Attestation de déficience), plus certificates for infertility treatment, care not available locally and dependent senior status.

A medical doctor or nurse practitioner can certify any impairment on the T2201; optometrists, audiologists, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, psychologists and speech-language pathologists certify within their field. With the applicant's reference number, you can complete Part B in the CRA's digital application and it is submitted automatically. On paper, the CRA requires version 23e (English) or 23f (French). Revenu Québec's certificates also come in both languages and can be signed electronically. Vero Documents fills the PDFs from the visit note and the chart; you review and sign.

Frequently asked questions

Who can complete Part B of the T2201?

A medical doctor or nurse practitioner can certify any impairment. Other practitioners certify only within their field: optometrists for vision, audiologists for hearing, occupational therapists for walking, feeding and dressing, physiotherapists for walking, psychologists for mental functions, and speech-language pathologists for speaking. Part A is the applicant's section, and Parts A and B must be sent the same way.

How do I submit the T2201 online as a medical practitioner?

Ask for the reference number the applicant gets by completing Part A in their CRA account or by phone. Enter it in the CRA's DTC digital application for medical practitioners, complete Part B online, and it is submitted automatically. The number is valid for 12 months, works once and must match the patient's last name and date of birth. Without it, complete Part B online, print and sign it, and give it to the patient to mail with Part A.

Does the CRA pay for the disability tax credit form?

No. The CRA does not pay the practitioner, and the applicant pays any fee. A one-time Canada Disability Benefit supplement, first paid in September 2026, is meant to offset the cost of obtaining the DTC. The Canada Disability Benefit has no clinician form of its own: it requires an approved DTC.

When does a Quebec patient need TP-752.0.14 instead of the T2201?

Revenu Québec accepts the federal T2201 in place of its Certificate Respecting an Impairment (TP-752.0.14), except when the impairment rests on life-sustaining therapy (at least twice a week, 14 hours or more) and for the caregiver tax credit. A physician, specialized nurse practitioner or another listed professional within their field completes Part 2. The taxpayer attaches it to the Quebec income tax return the first time the amount is claimed.
