If your child has a severe and prolonged impairment, you may be entitled to the Child Disability Benefit (CDB), depending on your income.
The CDB is a non-taxable supplement to the Canada Child Tax Benefit and may be as high as $199.58 monthly for each child under 18. It is reduced if your net family income is more than $37 885. To attest to your child's impairment, a qualified practitioner must complete form T2201, Disability Tax Credit Certificate, which you must send to the Canada Revenue Agency.
