About the amount
Up to $3,480 a year, or $290.00 a month, for each child eligible for the Disability Tax Credit, for the July 2026 to June 2027 period. It is paid with the Canada Child Benefit and reduces above an adjusted family net income threshold. The child must be approved for the DTC first.
What to know
The CDB is paid alongside the Canada Child Benefit. Your child must be approved for the Disability Tax Credit first. That approval is what triggers the CDB, so the DTC application is the real first step.
