I did not register my daughter with SARS or SASSA. So, I do not know what process to follow regarding this matter would be. |

Once done you can claim for the disability on your tax return. Here is examples of qualified disabilities they should have a physical disability (such as wheelchair user, walking aids etc.), mental disability (such as clinical depression, bipolar disorder, dementia, schizophrenia and anxiety disorders etc.) and intellectual disability (such as down syndrome, autism etc.) To download the ITR-DD form, please make use of this link here: Confirmation of Diagnosis of Disability - External Form |
