Query: What are the 2 main components of The Disability Tax Credit Certificate/Form T2201?
Context: The Disability Tax Credit certificate, Form T2201, consists of 2 main components:
Part A: You must enter the personal information of the disabled person and the claimant (if they are not the same person). Some of the information you will be asked to provide in this section is Name, Address, Date of Birth, and Social Insurance Number.
Part B: To be filled and certified by a medical practitioner (this part encompasses pages 3-6 of the T2201 Form)
The medical practitioner will be asked to certify your medical state in areas including Vision, Speaking, Hearing, Walking, Eliminating (bowel or bladder functions), Feeding, Dressing, and Mental Functions.
The corresponding health care practitioner must fill out each part. For example, the vision section must be certified by a medical doctor or optometrist, and the hearing section must be certified by a medical doctor or audiologist.
