The Child Disability Benefit (CBD) is a tax-free benefit for families who have a child (or multiple children) under the age of 18 that has been deemed eligible for the Disability Tax Credit. This benefit is paid monthly, and the amount is based on family income.
Who is eligible?
A family is eligible for the Child Disability Benefit when the CRA has approved a form T2201, which is submitted in application for the Disability Tax Credit.
