TaxTim says: 3 July 2015 at 8:22 Disability for SARS purposes relates to medical expenses you can claim as deductions. Does your illness leave you impaired or unable to function "normally?" |

Barry says: 6 July 2015 at 10:05 Thanks for the feedback. Yes, I was unable to perform my normal work functions therefore I was boarded off from work until I am fit enough to resume my normal duties. |

TaxTim says: 6 July 2015 at 22:02 This would not really classify as a disability because you did recover - SARS generally considers disabilities as such when your function in life is impaired over a long period, or forever. |
