Patient's name:
Life-sustaining therapy – Medical doctor
Life-sustaining therapy for your patient must meet both of the following criteria:
•
your patient needs this therapy to support a vital function, even if this therapy has eased the symptoms; and
•
your patient needs this therapy at least 3 times per week, for an average of at least 14 hours per week.
The 14-hour per week requirement
Include only the time your patient must dedicate to the therapy – that is, the patient has to take time away from
normal, everyday activities to receive it.
If a child cannot do the activities related to the therapy because of his or her age, include the time spent by the child's
primary caregivers to do and supervise these activities.
Do not include the time a portable or implanted device takes to deliver the therapy, the time spent on activities related
to dietary restrictions or regimes (such as carbohydrate calculation) or exercising (even when these activities are a
factor in determining the daily dosage of medication), travel time to receive therapy, medical appointments (other than
appointments where the therapy is received), shopping for medication, or recuperation after therapy.
1. Does your patient need this therapy to support a vital function?
Yes No
2. Does your patient need this therapy at least 3 times per week?
Yes No
3. Does this therapy take an average of at least 14 hours per week?
Yes No
If yes, when did your patient's therapy begin to meet the above criteria (this is not necessarily the year of
the diagnosis, as is often the case with progressive diseases)?
Year
It is mandatory that you describe how the therapy meets the criteria as stated above. If you need more space, use a separate sheet of paper,
sign it and attach it to this form.
Cumulative effect of significant restrictions – Medical doctor or occupational therapist
Note: An occupational therapist can only certify limitations for walking, feeding and dressing.
Answer all the following questions to certify the cumulative effect of your patient's significant restrictions.
1. Even with appropriate therapy, medication, and devices, does your patient have a significant restriction, that
is not quite a marked restriction, in two or more basic activities of daily living or in vision and one or more of
the basic activities of daily living?
Yes No
If yes, tick at least two of the following, as they apply to your patient.
vision speaking hearing walking
eliminating (bowel or bladder functions) feeding dressing mental functions necessary for everyday life
Note
You cannot include the time spent on life-sustaining therapy.
2. Do these restrictions exist together, all or substantially all of the time (at least 90% of the time)?
Yes No
3. Is the cumulative effect of these significant restrictions equivalent to being markedly restricted in one basic
activity of daily living?
Yes No
4. When did the cumulative effect described above begin (this is not necessarily the year of the diagnosis, as is
often the case with progressive diseases)?

Effects of impairment – Mandatory
The effects of your patient's impairment must be those which, even with therapy and the use of appropriate devices and medication, cause
your patient to be restricted all or substantially all of the time (at least 90% of the time).
Note
Working, housekeeping, managing a bank account, and social or recreational activities are not considered basic activities of daily living.
Basic activities of daily living are limited to walking, speaking, hearing, dressing, feeding, eliminating (bowel or bladder functions), and
mental functions necessary for everyday life.
It is mandatory that you describe the effects of your patient's impairment on his or her ability to do each of the basic activities of daily living
that you indicated are or were markedly or significantly restricted. If you need more space, use a separate sheet of paper, sign it and attach it
to this form. You may include copies of medical reports, diagnostic tests, and any other medical information, if needed.
Duration – Mandatory
Has your patient's impairment lasted, or is it expected to last, for a continuous period of at least
12 months? For deceased patients, was the impairment expected to last for a continuous period
of at least 12 months?
Yes No
If yes, has the impairment improved, or is it likely to improve, to such an extent that the patient
would no longer be blind, markedly restricted, in need of life-sustaining therapy, or have
the equivalent of a marked restriction due to the cumulative effect of significant restrictions?
Unsure Yes No
If yes, enter the year that the improvement occurred or may be expected to occur.
Year
Certification – Mandatory
1. For which year(s) have you been the attending medical practitioner for your patient?
2. Do you have medical information on file supporting the restriction(s) for all the year(s) you certified
on this form?

General information
What is the DTC?
The disability tax credit (DTC) is a non-refundable tax credit that
helps persons with disabilities or their supporting persons reduce the
amount of income tax they may have to pay. The disability amount
may be claimed once the person with a disability is eligible for the
DTC. This amount includes a supplement for persons under 18 years
of age at the end of the year. Being eligible for this credit may open
the door to other programs.
For more information, go to cra.gc.ca/dtc or see
Guide RC4064, Disability-Related Information.
Are you eligible?
You are eligible for the DTC only if we approve your application. On
this form, a medical practitioner has to indicate and certify that you
have a severe and prolonged impairment and must describe its
effects.
To find out if you may be eligible for the DTC, fill out the
self-assessment questionnaire in Guide RC4064,
Disability-Related Information. If we have already told you that you
are eligible, do not send another form unless the previous period of
approval has ended or if we tell you that we need one. You should
tell us if your medical condition improves.
If you receive Canada Pension Plan or Quebec Pension Plan
disability benefits, workers' compensation benefits, or other types of
disability or insurance benefits, it does not necessarily mean you are
eligible for the DTC. These programs have other purposes and
different criteria, such as an individual's inability to work.
You can send the form at any time during the year. By sending
your form before you file your income tax and benefit return, you may
prevent a delay in your assessment. We will review your form before
we assess your return. Keep a copy for your records.
Fees – You are responsible for any fees that the medical practitioner
charges to fill out this form or to give us more information. However,
you may be able to claim these fees as medical expenses on line
330 or line 331 of your income tax and benefit return.
What happens after you send Form T2201?
After we receive Form T2201, we will review your application. We
will then send you a notice of determination to inform you of our
decision. Our decision is based on the information given by the
medical practitioner. If your application is denied, we will explain why
on the notice of determination. For more information, see
Guide RC4064, Disability-Related Information, or go
to cra.gc.ca/dtc.
