Provincial programs, side by side

Start with your own province. Add one or two more if you are weighing a move — the gap between provinces can be hundreds of dollars a month.

Choose up to three provinces or territories to compare

Your province is where your main disability income program comes from. Comparing is helpful if you are thinking about a move.

Pick your province above to see its main disability income program.

Stacking

Federal benefits stack on top — in every province

Your provincial program is only one layer. These federal benefits apply no matter where you live, and most people leave at least one of them unclaimed.

  • Disability Tax Credit (DTC)

    The gateway — unlocks the Canada Disability Benefit, the RDSP, the Child Disability Benefit, and (in NL) the provincial benefit.

  • Canada Disability Benefit (CDB)

    Up to $2,400/year for working-age DTC holders with low income. Exempt from ODSP and AISH calculations.

  • CPP Disability (CPP-D)

    Monthly pension if you have enough CPP contributions and a severe and prolonged disability.

  • Registered Disability Savings Plan (RDSP)

    Up to $90,000 in lifetime grants and bonds once you hold the DTC. Savings do not count against ODSP assets.
