Eligible Canadians can begin applying for the new Canada Disability Benefit (CDB) on June 20, 2025. This federal program, part of the Disability Inclusion Action Plan, provides financial support (up to $2,400 annually, $200/month) to persons with disabilities aged 18-64 who qualify for the disability tax credit (DTC) and have filed their 2024 income tax return. The government will send letters with application codes, but those without a letter can still apply online, by phone, or in person at Service Canada offices. First payments for approved applications by June 30 are expected in July, with potential retroactive payments.
