Workshops
We provide workshops to community organizations, health care providers, businesses, and government.
DABC provides workshops across BC to share information on provincial and federal (CPP-D) disability benefits, the Registered Disability Savings Plan (RDSP), Disability Tax Credit (DTC), and income tax filing.
Most of our workshops are provided free of charge. However, we ask that a minimum of ten participants be confirmed for all our workshops.
Please see the contact form at the bottom of this page.
Tax Filing
Our Tax AID DABC program provides workshops on simple income tax filing issues for people with disabilities, common tax filing credits, options for dealing with tax debt, options for filing your income taxes, strategies for communicating with Canada Revenue Agency, and other programs that can be accessed through income tax filing.
Disability Benefits
DABC advocates provide workshops on provincial disability benefits (Persons with Disabilities (PWD) and the Persons with Persistent and Multiple Barriers (PPMB) benefits), as well as federal disability benefits (Canadian Pension Plan-Disability). The workshops include information about financial and medical eligibility criteria and the supplementary supports that are attached to PWD and PPMB. The workshop can be tailored to the needs of the organization or group.
RDSP/DTC
Access RDSP advocates provide workshops on the eligibility criteria for the DTC, strategies for communicating with your doctor, options if your DTC application is denied, eligibility criteria for the Registered Disability Savings Plan (RDSP), tips for communicating with your bank, information about Canada Disability Savings grants and bonds, best practices for maximizing RDSP benefits, and accessing the Endowment 150 grant.
