A person must be eligible to receive the Disability Bond.

How do I collect this benefit?

The Process

There are four steps to collecting the Disability Bond. After eligibility has been determined, a person must apply to receive their government entitlements (and any unclaimed amounts from previous years). After the Federal Government of Canada receives a person's applications, deposits (if applicable) begin in approximately 45 days from the time of qualification.

1. Eligibility

Determine a person's eligibility to collect the Disability Bond. A person may determine their eligibility by using the form: Disability Bond: Eligibility.

2. Confirmation

Receive confirmation on a person's eligibility. If a person is not eligible, they will be infomed as to the reason(s) why and directed to the appropriate resources to improve their eligibility.

3. Apply

For a person that is eligible to collect the Disability Bond, they must apply to capture the benefit. In many cases, there are unclaimed amounts from previous years of eligibility that may be collected retroactively (up to $10,000).

4. Collect

A person may continue to collect Disability Bond payments until they reach the age of 49 or until they have reached the $20,000 lifetime maximum, whichever occurs first.

Please Note: RDSP Canada does not open registered accounts. Our role is to help a person living with a prolonged medical condition determine their eligibility for the program and provide them with the appropriate information that allows a person to capture their government entitlements.
