Step 3: Appeal Your Disability Tax Credit (if necessary)

There are 10 steps to starting and managing an RDSP. Step 3 is Appealing your Disability Tax Credit. If you are not approved for the DTC, you will get a letter explaining why you were turned down. At this point, you should probably get some professional advice, like a professional tax accountant who specializes in disability tax credits, or an advocate. A professional can help you decide how to proceed. 

For more information about setting up an RDSP, please call the Disability Planning hotline at 1-844-311-PLAN or 1-844-311-7526. The Guide is also available in other formats, such as text only, PDF, audio and word files on the Government of B.C. Accessibility 2024 website at gov.bc.ca/accessibility.
