Hepatitis C and Disability Benefits
In spite of being one of the most regenerative organs in our body, our liver too is susceptible to diseases which can severely alter our lifestyle. One of the more lethal of these infections is Hepatitis C which causes inflammation and fibrosis (scarring) of the liver tissue – so much so that in extreme cases the damage can lead to altogether liver failure. Thankfully, now the Canadian government takes the prevalence and spread of Hepatitis C very seriously and has earmarked certain ways to make living with the disease easier. One of these ways is the offering of disability benefits! But before we jump to these monetary saviors, it is pertinent to first understand Hepatitis C and its implications.
The Hepatitis C virus is present in the blood and is normally transmitted through blood, needle sharing, or/and to a lesser extent through saliva or vaginal fluid. Hepatitis C is clearly an uncomfortable illness and depending on whether it is chronic or acute, it can lead to nausea, flu-like symptoms, stomach pains and extreme fatigue.
Living with this disease and all its symptoms is of course very difficult since Hepatitis C has the potential to severely negatively affect one’s movement ability leading to difficulty at work as well as a strain on personal and family relationships. Hepatitis C is a long-term ailment and can stay with one for up to 20 to 30 years. While some may contract this condition at some point in their life, others may be born with it (if the mother has the disease). While treatments (which include 6 to 12 month medicine regimes) have been known to show a fair amount of success, there is no denying that Hepatitis C is still likely to take a heavy toll on the individual.
Statistics show that many people are brave enough to cope with this condition in a way that needs to be applauded. These people are able to maintain a normal life even though Hepatitis C is such a nuisance. Thankfully, Hepatitis C suffers do not have to bear the full burden of their condition alone as the Canadian government offers help.
Hepatitis C is recognized as a disability and because of the difficulties that it causes, you are entitled to disability benefits if you are diagnosed with this distressing illness. To allow you to concentrate on your treatment and improve your chances of not only healing but living a normal life, the Canadian Revenue Agency hands out these monetary benefits in numerous forms such as Disability Tax Benefits or the Registered Disability Savings Plan. Unfortunately like all other benefit claiming procedures, the process for claiming disability benefits also requires a lot of effort via the research required on the illness and the filling out of various application forms. However don’t be disheartened and don’t let these difficulties hold you back. Contact us at the National Benefit Authority (NBA) and let our experts make your life easier.
