What we do at Alisa Refunds is a complex process demanding much effort and work over a long period of time (usually several months). Many accountants are hesitant to even try to retrieve those particular tax credits since there is no guarantee of a refund at the end of the process. Therefore, it is difficult for accountants to charge clients for this kind of work. If they don’t succeed in retrieving health related tax credits, how will they be able to charge you for the hours spent working on your case ?
No. Many of our clients are working and still receive health related tax credits. If you suffer from a health problem that restricts your daily activities but still allows you to work, you are very likely to benefit from our services.
Because, over the years we have developed the expertise to obtain retroactive tax credits in diverse ways. In some cases, the person who has health restrictions cannot benefit from a tax credit, but a family member can. By doing a full family analysis, we increase your chances to qualify for retroactive (federal and provincial) tax credits.

Though he has passed away, it is still possible that his tax files be re-evaluated to include health-related tax credits that he should have applied for while he was alive. Families often discover this fact when an opportunity allows them to do so after the trying times of illness.
