Application Approved!
An ADHD-Friendly Guide to Canada’s DTC
Wondering whether ADHD qualifies for Canada’s Disability Tax Credit?
You’re not alone — and you’re definitely not the first person to open the CRA website, stare blankly at the T2201 form, and wonder whether unlocking this process requires an accounting degree, supernatural patience, or just sheer stubbornness.
In Application Approved!, writer and communications consultant Lili Derk offers a practical, plain-English guide to understanding and applying for the Disability Tax Credit (DTC) in Canada — from the perspective of someone who’s actually been there and actually got approved.
Inside, you’ll learn how to:
- understand what the CRA really means by “marked restriction”
- describe ADHD-related impairments in language your doctor can actually use
- prepare for your appointment without downplaying your struggles
- avoid common mistakes that lead to denials
- request reconsideration if your application is refused
- and navigate the whole process with more clarity, confidence, and sanity intact
Warm, funny, and refreshingly human, this is the guide Lili wishes someone had handed her before she started chasing answers across PDFs, government tabs, and the outer reaches of her executive function.
If your life is held together with alarms, sticky notes, and the occasional panic-snack, this book was written for you.
A real-world guide for ADHD brains navigating an ADHD-unfriendly system.
