Testimonials

Brenda,

Thanks for making my application to the CRA for a Type 1 Diabetic tax credit successful.  I received two cheques from the CRA totaling $15,827.11.  Your experience and knowledge of working with the CRA were essential.  Your listening skills and your sense of humour helped me to provide the right information on the application.  Your attention to detail is impressive.  I will mention you and your services to two other Type 1’s that I know of.  
Please feel free to use me as one who endorses your services.  
The fun thing was a river cruise in Europe post COVID -19 but Chris vetoed that idea. Instead, it will likely be installing an irrigation system in the front and back lawns, a new cell phone for me and a desktop computer for Chris. 
Mark,  you know I love working with other T1D’s to get the much deserved DTC.  You were approved for life so maybe that river cruise is in your future.  And you know we are not done yet.  I am after that one year where I think you were underpaid.  Not a huge amount of money but it belongs to you.

Lady, you are the best.  You saved our bacon when we needed it most.
Totally professional, helpful and knowledgeable.  Have recommended you to lots of friends.We have not yet spent all the money we got but have paid some overdue bills, caught up on credit cards, built a deck and a roof over it so we can sit outside without getting rained on.  David has got his motorcycle up and running again – new tires and safety today – should be able to ride it very soon.

Congrats on the Diabetes conference.   Lots more lucky people have found their way to you.
I’m glad things worked out so well for you both.  You will have to let Dr. D know it was a successful outcome.   You are putting the refunds to good use!  David still has some nice riding weather in beautiful Muskoka :-))

Working with Brenda was seamless and easy. She made the complicated DTC process a breeze. I would highly recommend Brenda to all Type 1 Diabetics. She’s the real deal and a true professional. I can now buy a Dexcom!

Sean,  I’m glad Ryan referred you to me.  You were a pleasure to work with!  I’m glad you will be able to get the DexcomG6.  It really is a life-changer.  And we aren’t done yet!  I am chasing the years while you were in university so I can move that ‘unused’ DTC credit to your Mom.  We are leaving nothing on the table that belongs to you :-)).

Brenda came into my life at Diabetes Canada’s excellent Type 1 conference in Toronto.

The conference taught me, and the other Type 1’s who bonded there many things. But the one I rejoice over every April is the Disability Tax Credit on my income tax.
I already knew about it and I’d made inquiries at my endo’s office. But until I met Brenda and learned about her ethical and effective approach, I was as close to being approved as buying a lottery ticket is to winning.
Brenda knew how to turn my DTC claim into final approval in no time. She is my hero.  She’s a Type 1 who knows the struggle and she’s made it her mission to help others seeking the Disability Tax Credit.
She quickly files a DTC application that will be approved. Unlike other filing companies who want to make a killing for it,  her fee is modest and fair.  If you need the Disability Tax Credit, talk to Brenda McCormick today!
Brenda,  you were a pleasure to work with.  Sharing your success with Dr. Zinman’s assistant resulted in several referrals to me.  Thank you! 
I hope you are enjoying your Instant Pot :-))

Hello, my name is Bruce.  

I am a 59 yr old living with T1 diabetes. I’d just like to say to any T1D who is seeking assistance in receiving the disability tax credit that I highly recommend Brenda McCormick.  This woman worked long endless hours on my behalf. She really cares.   Not only did she have to deal with me, but she also dealt with the doctors, the CRA and dieticians without one single word of complaint. She went above and beyond what we expected.  I feel she has become a personal friend of the family. I’d like to say that she is a very personable, professional and knowledgeable person in this field.  She will go to bat for you and she never, I mean never,  gives up.  The bigger the challenge,  the more she goes after it.  She is worth every penny and then some.  Our ‘fun thing’ was to put in new stairs and liner in our pool.   

Bruce and ‘wifey’ :-))))),  how many hours did we discuss your situation?  So many obstacles but we got over every single one together.  So much laughter (like Bruce’s Tim Horton’s experience).  I look forward to taking you up on your invitation for a visit when this Covid thing goes away.

Thank you Brenda for your continued support throughout the application process.  You were always available to answer any questions I had and your professional, congenial manner was greatly appreciated.  I would recommend anyone who is considering hiring a consultant to contact CRM Blue Group before making any final decision.

 

Gerry,  thank you for hanging in there with me.  You know why but the hard work paid off.  You got approved for life!  The call to you that day was one of the most memorable for me.  I don’t know who was happier…you or me :-)))  

Gerry South Western Ontario

Once again,  thank you for your immense efforts that not only got me a nice chunk of change for my RV goal but for the thousands of dollars you’ve qualified me for future tax returns.

Your process is thorough and everything unfolded as you anticipated. I’m happy that you refused to give up when the CRA was throwing arbitrary curve balls to try to get you/us to quit but you soldiered on and got the job done.

Your fees are reasonable and exactly what you said they would be – a nice change in this age of hidden costs.

Thanks again and I will happily recommend you to anyone who could use your valuable service.  Stay healthy!!  

Thanks, Mark.   It certainly did take a long time to get the refunds.  As mentioned in our early communications,   I said ‘the wait’ would be the hardest part. 
 An RV !!!!  You must send me a picture when you get it and tell me about your first adventure. 
Waterloo Mark, 53 yrs.old

I have been living with Type 1 diabetes for 14 years.  I first learned of the DTC and Brenda’s services from a co-worker who highly recommended her.  I almost missed out on this opportunity because I thought that the whole process seemed long and difficult. Brenda showed me that it could be quick and painless with her knowledge and experience.  We kept in touch mostly through email which was very convenient and she kept me well informed. My doctor was very impressed with the documents that Brenda provided. After my doctor signed the paperwork in November, I got the approval from the CRA in January and received my BIG retroactive payment in February!

 
Contacting Brenda was a life-changing experience.  I would definitely recommend her to anyone who is considering applying for the DTC.  She is amazing!
With my retro pay, I plan on going on a shopping trip and putting some aside in an RDSP!
Thanks for everything Brenda!
 
Theresa,  most T1D’s are very skeptical.  The DTC seems to be a well-kept secret.  I’m glad that you work with one of my cheerleaders!   I am very happy that things worked out well for you.  Have a great shopping trip!  Investing in an RDSP is a very smart move.
