IS THE TRUDEAU GOVERNMENT THE REASON WHY THE CANADA REVENUE AGENCY DENYING ELIGIBILITY FOR A $1500. TAX CREDIT THAT HELPS THOSE SUFFERING FROM TYPE ONE DIABETES? THIS IS THE TOPIC FOR THIS WEEK'S RIDICULOG!......The Canada Revenue Agency is under fire for denying a growing number of people suffering from Type 1 diabetes from receiving a disability tax credit despite doctor's certifications that they are eligible.In a letter to Revenue Minister Diane Lebouthillier released on Sunday, Diabetes Canada and five other medical organizations complained that "it has become very difficult if not impossible, for adults with [Type1 diabetes] to qualify" for the tax credit, which is worth an average of $1,500 a year.At a news conference with Conservative MPs, Diabetes Canada's director of federal affairs, Kimberley Hanson, said six medical organizations sent the letter nearly three weeks ago after months of on-again, off-again communication with the CRA. Neither the minister nor the CRA responded to that letter until Friday after opposition MPs asked a question in the House of Commons, Ms. Hanson said."Diabetes is a condition that can be very challenging for many people to live with and can take a lot of time for people to manage effectively, particularly Type 1 diabetes," Ms. Hanson said. She said patients pay out of pocket anywhere from $5,000 to $15,000 a year to treat the disease. I have friends that suffer from diabetes, which in any form is a serious disease and always life threatening, so I think that the government , especially for lower income earners should be doing everything they can to help them. When the Dr signs off then they are eligible and that's that! Staying on the current road only leads us to the Ridiculog!
