It's difficult to be certain of the numbers, because there are challenges in getting real numbers of applications from the CRA, etc. We know from a study that was done by the University of Calgary late last year that across the board, for people with all forms of disability, there are very low levels of application for the disability tax credit. It's even lower for the registered disability savings program.
It is plausible that only 2,300 applications were denied during the second half of last year, but one of the things Diabetes Canada is committed to doing is raising awareness among all people living with diabetes that they are potentially eligible for this program.
