Elimination (bowel or bladder functions)

A person who is able to manage elimination without difficulties or without requiring an inordinate amount of time would not qualify for the disability tax credit (DTC) even if he or she has to go to the washroom more frequently than others.

A person who has a chronic problem with elimination but can manage it with dietary changes or the use of medication would also not qualify for the DTC.

However, a person who requires assistance to get to the washroom and to manage their elimination once there or a person who is incontinent of bladder function and requires an inordinate amount of time to manage and tend to changing of incontinence pads may qualify for the DTC.
