common law partner and if the dependant did not have any income (see line 30400 of Schedule 5 for conditions)
– The dependant was your (or your spouse's or common law partner's) parent, grandparent, child, grandchild, brother, sister,
aunt, uncle, niece, or nephew and you claimed an amount on line 30450 of your return for that dependant, or you could
have if they had no income and had been 18 years of age or older in 2023
If your dependant was eligible for the disability tax credit for 2022 and still meets the requirements in 2023, you do not need to
send the CRA a new Form T2201 to claim this amount. However, you must send the CRA a new form T2201 if the previous
period of approval ended before 2023 or if the CRA asks you to.
Notes: You cannot claim the unused part of the disability amount if the spouse or common-law partner of the person with a
disability is already claiming the disability amount or any other non-refundable tax credit (other than medical expenses)
for the person with a disability.
If you are splitting the unused part of this amount with another person, the total amount claimed for that dependant
cannot be more than the maximum amount allowed for that dependant.
