About the webinar

The Canada Disability Benefit (CDB) is a federal benefit for low-income working-age people with disabilities. The CDB provides a direct monthly payment of up to $200 and requires Disability Tax Credit (DTC) approval for eligibility.   

This webinar breaks down the CDB application process, from confirming your eligibility to calculating your benefit amount. At the end of the webinar, there is a 30-minute question-and-answer period with a CDB specialist. 

What’s covered: 

  • What the Canada Disability Benefit (CDB) is, and how much you could receive
  • Eligibility criteria
  • How to apply
  • What happens after you submit the CDB application

Who should attend

This webinar is for anyone who would like information and support around the CDB, including disabled folks, family members or support people, and professionals. 

To be eligible for the CDB, you must first be approved for the Disability Tax Credit (DTC). If you have not received DTC approval, we recommend attending our DTC webinar for guidance on the application process. 

Cost

The webinar is free. There is no cost to attend.
