What is the Canada Disability Benefit (CDB)?
The Canada Disability Benefit (CDB) provides direct financial support to persons with disabilities aged 18 to 64. It is administered by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). The first month of eligibility was June 2025, and payments began in July 2025.
Who is eligible?
According to the official page, applicants must be between 18 and 64 years old and have a disability. Specific eligibility criteria (e.g., disability definition, income thresholds) are not listed in the provided material; please refer to the official website at the time of application.
How much?
The official page does not specify the amount. Payments start the month after your application is received and approved. Your first payment will be on the third Thursday of the month following approval and may include back payments.
Back payments
The official page states that you may receive back payments for up to 24 months from when your application is received, but not for any months before June 2025.
How to apply?
The official page does not list specific application steps in the provided material. Important: If you do not receive your CDB payment in July, verify that you and your spouse or common-law partner (if applicable) have filed your federal income tax return(s). To receive CDB payments, taxes for 2025 must be filed. CRA processes taxes first, then CDB payments can be issued.
