General information only. Always verify the current government instructions.
Who may qualify for the Canada Disability Benefit?

Verify with the official sourceDoes BenefitKey submit my application?
No. BenefitKey provides information, preparation support, official links, and a user-controlled tracker. You submit through the government channel and then record the confirmation details in BenefitKey.
Verify with the official sourceHow can I apply for the CDB?
Service Canada accepts applications through its official online process and through the alternative channels listed on Canada.ca. Review the current official instructions before sending anything and keep your confirmation or mailing receipt.
Verify with the official sourceHow long does a CDB decision usually take?
Service Canada says a decision should arrive within 28 calendar days after it receives an application, or within 49 calendar days when a legal representative applies. Missing information can affect timing.
Verify with the official sourceWhat should I do if my CDB application is denied?
Read the decision letter, save the date it was issued and the reasons, gather information that addresses those reasons, and request reconsideration within 180 days. The official letter and current Canada.ca instructions control.
Verify with the official sourceCan I use BenefitKey to track an application already submitted?
Yes. Record the program, official channel, confirmation or tracking number, submission date, government response, decision, and the exact review or appeal deadline printed on the decision letter. BenefitKey does not verify receipt with government systems.
