I had heard of the Disability Tax Credit some time ago. My mother had learned of it through a colleague and passed the information on to me.  The process seemed quite complex and confusing.  I eventually forgot about it.

A few years later (during an appointment at the Diabetic Education Centre) one of the Educator’s asked if I was aware of the Disability Tax Credit and gave me Brenda’s business card.  Again, I hesitated because I was familiar with the complexity of the process.

Eventually, I called Brenda to inquire.  I was impressed but it sounded way too good to be true.  I gave it some thought then decided to trust her word.  I continued to be impressed throughout the whole process with Brenda’s unrelenting pursuit on our behalf (both my son and I are T1D). Brenda’s knowledge, experience and professionalism are outstanding. Her tenacity with the CRA is unprecedented!

Brenda’s word is GOLD, literally!!  We received approximately $20,000.00. We have decided to use the refund for a long overdue trip to Australia to visit family.

Alison,  it was my pleasure to work with you and your son.  I’m glad both of you were approved for the DTC.  Hopefully,  you won’t have to wait too much longer for the final ‘Caregiver’ refund.  I hope you have a wonderful time in the ‘land down under’.

It was an absolute pleasure working with Brenda. Until I met her, I had no idea that T1D’s were even eligible for the Disability Tax Credit! Now, I have over $9,000 in my pocket right around Christmas and have another tax sheltering vehicle for my investments, an RDSP.

I would recommend Brenda and CRM Blue Group to any T1D.  I will paying off my credit card and buying some things for my new house!

Justin,  you are not alone.  Most T1D’s have no knowledge of the DTC.  I’m glad Mark told you about it.   You were so easy to work with.  You gave me what I needed and just ‘let me go’.   I am also pleased that you are taking advantage of the RDSP that is now available to you. 

Congratulations on the new house!

A friend of mine referred me to Brenda in Aug 2019.  He had just received his refunds from the CRA because of Brenda’s services.  I had never been told there was such a thing as DTC. Honestly, it was music to my ears. I trusted that because it happened to my friend that it could possibly happen to me.  My first call to Brenda was great.  What a great lady to chat with and she was on it from the moment she answered the phone! The whole process was simplified by Brenda.  She looked after it all and within a few months, I received my refund. Brenda gets the job done and done right!  Thank you again.

We are headed to Florida this Feb for a week and I think those outlet stores are calling my name!!

Lisa,  only 6 weeks to get the approval and the payout!  I guess you made it onto Santa’s ‘nice’ list. 

I hope you and Nick have a wonderful vacation.  Bring an empty suitcase to pack up those new purchases  :-)))

As a pensioner with no benefits, the costs associated with diabetes are staggering. It has been 27 years and the last 10 years paying out of pocket for everything. My Dr. referred me to BRENDA and she did all the paperwork. Communication was great and she always responded promptly. I knew nothing about the TAX CREDIT and BRENDA went to work guiding me through all the steps. It was a nice windfall right before CHRISTMAS. Now a winter vacation is in the works – LONG OVERDUE. I would refer BRENDA to anyone. She deals with all the bumps along the way. THANK YOU for all your hard work.

John,  Helen told me about the winter getaway.  3 weeks in the sun on a Harley with the guys you ride with.  Awesome and jealous is me :-)) 

Please thank Dr. D again for referring you to me.  I’ve got a hattrick with her now….3 out of 3 patients approved!

We heard about Brenda from our accountant who met her in person.  She was impressed with Brenda and said we had to call her.  She also knew our previous attempts were not approved.  

We tried to get the DTC several times over the last few years and pretty much gave up.  Brenda, thanks for not giving up on us through all the problems holding us back.  You resolved every obstacle and there were many.  OMG!  I can’t believe we finally got the Disability Tax Credit. This money couldn’t have come at a better time.  
Our ‘fun’ thing?  We are going on vacation to BC for our son’s Elvis impersonator competition.   So……’Thank you.  Thank you very much’   :-))
After your two previous denials,  I was very happy to see things work out when we worked together.   Bob’s approval was for life so he won’t have to apply again!  I learn the most when I work on challenging situations like yours.
Dustin is very talented and I hope he does well at the competition. Please tell him I like his rendition of   ‘ Teddy Bear’.

I received contact information for Brenda from a member of my diabetic team. I had previously attempted filling out the Disability Tax Credit paperwork on my own but with the restrictions I didn’t know how to go about proving that I actually put in the time required to qualify. I immediately contacted Brenda and she got back to me quickly and arranged a phone call so we could discuss in detail my daily routines. She sent me out forms to sign in the mail and I sent them back and she dealt with everything. She told me it would be a few months before I might hear anything and she called me approximately 2.5 months later saying I had been approved. Brenda let me know I might still be waiting to hear how much my refund would be and could be several weeks or months before I received the refund. However, just a few weeks later she called me that my refund would be deposited in a week. I received the direct deposit refund to my account and I couldn’t be happier with the whole process. I wouldn’t have been able to do it without Brenda’s help and I can’t thank her enough for providing this service for diabetics. We, as T1 diabetics, definitely put in the time and money that should qualify us – but thankfully she knows how to navigate the complicated process.
Although we’ll be saving most of the refund for now, my husband and I are expecting our first baby in a couple of months and we will be using some of the refund to complete the new nursery.

Thanks again Brenda!! I’ll definitely be referring you to anyone and everyone.

 

First of all,  congratulations to both you and your husband on the upcoming birth of the new ‘little man’ in your life.  

It was my pleasure to work with you to make this a successful outcome.  Thank you too for spreading the word about the ‘best-kept secret’.

Hi Brenda, I want to send this email to thank you so much for the work you put in to recover the money you got for me. I really like the way you kept me informed through the process and you were able to get 100% of the claim for me. I highly recommend you to any type 1 diabetic who might read this. I have already referred a couple of people I know who are type 1 diabetic. This money will help with some bills but one item I will purchase is a new golf driver to enhance my game.
Brenda, there cannot be enough to THANK YOU for what you do.
I am so happy you got a lifetime DTC approval.   I have already heard from one of the people you told about your success.  She said you were on Cloud 9 that day and she wants to get on the Cloud too.  You are such a great cheerleader for me :-)) 
I loved hearing about your ‘one fun thing’.  Should Tiger be concerned?

Brenda was an absolute pleasure to work with.  I wasn’t sure what to expect when I was given the referral but she made the process seamless by explaining each step along the way and doing all of the work on my behalf.  I would highly recommend Brenda to anyone who is looking for someone to help them in this process.  You won’t be disappointed.  I surely wasn’t when I received my retro payment and was able to treat my family with a vacation to the Bahamas!

Thank you again for all that you do!

Stefanie,  it was a pleasure for me to work with you too  🙂   I’m so happy you got to share a great holiday with your family.  Love hearing about the ‘fun’ things.
