Child Disability Benefit

Canada Revenue Agency

Up to $3,480 per qualifying child for the 2026-27 benefit year, paid as a supplement on top of the Canada Child Benefit. No separate application - it starts once the child is DTC-approved and CCB is in place.

The catch: Entirely gated on Disability Tax Credit approval for the child, which is the slow part. Once approved it is automatic, so the whole effort sits in the T2201.
