As the founder of the Association of Canadians Disability Benefit Professionals, Akiva Medjuck brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to service Canada’s disabled community.
Akiva has over 20 years’ experience specializing in the complex Canadian Disability Tax Credit (DTC) program.
Despite his work in different areas of the DTC, Akiva still finds time to work with disabled Canadians, their families, and their local MPs, to get a first-hand understanding of what the community needs. With the support of the ACDBP, Nicola looks to increase awareness and improve accessibility of the Disability Tax Credit for all Canadian families.
Born and raised in South Yorkshire, England, Akiva graduated from Lancaster University in 2001 with a degree in Sociology. Looking for opportunities to grow and play a bigger role in disability rights and benefits, she moved to Toronto, Canada in 2010. She married her wife the same year, and now currently reside in Scarborough with their two dogs, Marley and Charlie.
Many Canadians with disabilities are unaware that they may qualify for substantial sums of money from the Canada Revenue Agency. The Canadian Disability Tax Credit is worth up to $4,000 per year, depending on hundreds of combinations of factors such as age, income, and province of residence. Members of the ACDBP are here to help you navigate this complicated process.
