Child Disability Benefit

---

The Child Disability Benefit (CDB) is a financial support program designed to assist families caring for an under 18 child with a disability. This benefit is provided as a monthly payment to help cover the additional costs of raising a child with disabilities. This benefit is a supplement to the Canada Child Benefit.

The calculator below will estimate your CDB amounts. Simply obtain your family net income from page 2 of the appropriate CCB statement that you will find in your CRA mail and enter it in the Net Income column. For example if your child was approved for 2018 forward, you would use the 2016 CCB statement.The CDB amounts will be calculated based on your income. 

Ensure you look at the payout period as those months must fall within the approval years. In the event your child was approved from their year of birth, the CDB will only be paid out from the month after birth.

The calculator is designed to provide amounts based on the first child in the household being approved for the DTC. If there is more than one child approved for the same year, the CDB per child may go up slightly, depending on the family net income.

If you are not confident that your family received all of the tax refunds and benefits you are entilted too with the DTC, feel free to CLICK HERE and fill out our form for a free, no obligation review.
