If you are a single person under 65, work part time or full time with a low or lower income, have a disability tax credit ( maybe even received a federal disabled workers benefit as considered lower income), please apply for the Canada Disability Benefit. I applied online thinking that if I don’t get it this year, I may get it in other years as your tax return will be reviewed every year after that - only have to apply once to get on the system (so even if you are married or in a marriage like relationship and have a disability tax credit, apply too just to get on the system to have your tax return reviewed every year as you never know what your future may hold). One less thing to worry about. Your first $10,000 of income earned is exempt from the CDB calculations I found out. Anyway, I just was approved for a monthly portion amount of the CDB this year (e.g., the most one can get is UP TO $200/ month depending what your tax return was last year). It is very easy to apply online. Please note you don’t have to be employed to apply for the CDB.
The Canada Disability Benefit is a monthly payment for working-age persons with disabilities who have low income
