Position: Legal Intake Worker

Open: July 24, 2026
Closes: August 14, 2026/
Category: Non-Profit Legal Job
Type:  Part time – 32 hours per week
Salary: $41,600

Job Description

The Disability Law Clinic  is seeking a part-time Legal Intake Worker to join our team. The primary focus of this role will be receiving incoming inquiries from our online intake form, email and voicemails, including providing information and referrals as appropriate.

On July 1, the federal government announced that recipients of the Canada Disability Benefit (CDB) will be entitled to a $150 supplement, to reduce costs associated with applying for its pre-requisite, the Disability Tax Credit (DTC) starting September 1, 2026.  

This payment will be available for anyone who was approved for the DTC and is entitled to any amount of the CDB. Anyone who is currently receiving or has received a CDB payment will still be eligible, even if they are no longer receiving CDB payments. 

You do not need to apply for the supplemental amount; it will be delivered as a lump sum to eligible people starting September 2026.  

This change comes with four smaller changes to clarify Canada Disability Benefit Regulations. It is now made clearer that: 

• CDB payments will not be treated as income under the Income Tax Act 
• Those that have been granted a waiver that exempts their spouse or common-law partner from having to file an income tax return will be treated as single for the purpose of calculating monthly CDB payment amounts
• People may apply up to 6 months prior to their 18th birthday
• Interest will not accrue on debts during reconsiderations, appeals or judicial reviews 

DABC commends the federal government for this positive change, but we recognize that the up-front fees charged by medical practitioners for filling out DTC applications will continue to pose a barrier to accessing the DTC and CDB for many people with disabilities living on low incomes. DABC currently has a DTC Medical Fees Fund, through which you can donate to directly cover these costs for successful applicants to the Fund.  

Information about these changes and the new supplement is available at Canada.ca. 

On June 16th, 2026, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) announced upcoming changes to the Disability Tax Credit (DTC) application process that will impact the way you are able to submit an application. 

Key dates to note: 

• July 14, 2026: You will no longer be able to use the “Submit Documents” section in your CRA account to send DTC applications or related documents, unless the CRA specifically requests additional information. You must send your DTC application to the CRA using the digital DTC application form or by mail. 
• September 8, 2026: Older versions of Form T2201 (issued before 2023) will no longer be accepted, as they do not meet the updated requirements. You will need to submit a new application if the version of your form is from before 2023.

We recognize that this can add an administrative burden on both applicants and their medical practitioners.  

You can still apply for the DTC by either: 

• mailing in a paper application (Form T2201 – The Disability Tax Credit Certificate).
• Applying for Part A of the form by phone with a CRA agent: 1-800-959-8281 or using the automated voice service (1-800-463-4421); and having your medical practitioner complete the Part B form online through a digital portal .

Tips on completing an application: 

• If your medical practitioner is submitting your application through the digital portal, ask your medical practitioner to see your application before they submit the application so you can be prepared for the CRA’s decision.  
• Stay up to date on CRA’s latest processing times to see how long you might have to wait for a decision 
• If you have not heard from the CRA, and it has been a while, check in with your medical practitioner to see if they need to submit a questionnaire requesting additional medical information. 
• If you need help with your application, denial, renewal or appeal, contact Access DTC: 604.872.1278 or dtc@dabc.ca.
