Perhaps the most common forms of Lung Disease in Canada are asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD.) These diseases affect your whole life, and have an impact on your pocket book too! Enabled Financial can help.

Asthma has many symptoms, but is characterized by some degree of inflammation that's present in the air passages of a person’s lungs. COPD is similar to asthma. It is a chronic disease with shortness of breath, cough and sputum production. According to the Asthma Society of Canada there are over 714,000 Canadians suffering from COPD and many more with asthma.

Both of these diseases require medical help. Symptoms must be monitored and treatments vary over time. Asthma can be controlled but COPD is a progressive disease. The Asthma Society of Canada has an excellent website with all of the details for both diseases. (asthma.ca)

If you or those you love have been diagnosed with asthma or COPD, you are entitled to a Disability Tax Credit (DTC.) Getting the DTC can be a scary business. Some folks feel over-whelmed by the whole process and just don’t try. Others try but are denied the tax break due to technical errors or not having sufficient support material. Here is where Enabled Financial can help. Enabled Financial knows how to approach doctors and they know the rules at Revenue Canada. Enabled Financial has a 95% success rate. If you are entitled to the DTC, Enabled Financial can get it for you.
