Dependent Child over 18 - Proof of Disability

Hello all -

I am working with a student who has advised they cannot provide a Disability Tax Credit Certificate as they cannot afford to apply for guardianship of their child, but have provided an affidavit in place, as well as documentation from DSO. Has anyone had any experience accepting alternate documentation in a similar situation? Thanks in advance, Paige - Northern College

Not quite the same, but we recently had an Indigenous student who was advised not to file for the Disability Tax Credit for their 18+ child by their tax person since they had zero taxable income and wouldn't be eligible to receive it, plus would be charged more for their tax filing if they wanted it included. We sent their case to the Ministry and they decided on what was acceptable documentation...I can't remember the exact alternative documentation, but an affidavit was not acceptable. Probably best to send this case to the Ministry for a decision.
