    They take 38 percent of whatever you get, it is so simple to do this yourself. When you do your taxes just ask about the disability benefit. For past years just call the CRA, super easy and they'll direct you through the process. You have to do most of the leg work with the canadian benefit association and then they take 38 percent. **** **** ******** they'll respond until they hook you. Then you'll be unable to get a hold of them, just a looping voicemail with no beep. DO IT YOURSELF AND KEEP ALL THE MONEY FOR YOURSELF AND YOUR FAMILY, ** *** **** *** ***** ** ***** ****** ********* ***** ***** ***** ** ***** ****** *** ****** ********* ** ******** *** ******** ******* *** ***** *** ***** ***** **** ******** ***** **** ** *** ******* *** * ******* ***** *****

    They did trigger a review of past taxes but I never replied to the emails that were supposed to be confirmations to continue. Therefore I felt I had let them know I did not want them to continue, especially when I found out how much they charge. So much for helping the disabled and their families.

    I recently got involved with CBA because I made a request to them for their help.
    This is the second time I have used them and I was very satisfied with their services. Sure they charge 33% but if I hadn't used their services I would of had zero refund. Example: if I was getting a refund of $1,000. less 33% that they charge, would leave me with $660. An amount that I would not had have if I did not reach out to them. Pretty good deal, I say.

    Well the CBA *** ******** *** drag your whole family into this and get everyone's SIN numbers and bank information and pay you the money from their funds and take a crazy amount as their fee and don't answer calls or even emails after they receive your information, sent all mine then they kept sending emails to get all my family members to fill out the forms saying I would get more money when only the greedy people their get more , it's my claim not my sons so why I have to go through my family and get money from them for my claim that I can file myself and get all the money with giving them 40% **** ******** and they still have our SIN numbers that I was told is a big problem stay clear from the Canadian Benifets Association, *** ****** **** *** *** *** *** ****** **** *** * ***** *** ** ***** *** *** ******** *** ****** ******* ***** ******* ** ******** ** *** ******* *** **** ******* **** * **** *** ***** ********* **** *** ********* *** ****** ** *** ** ******** *** **** ***** *******

    Hi *********,
    I hope all is well.
    We are sorry to hear that you were not satisfied with our service. We checked your file and saw that you had applied for yourself , and mentioned your brother as a supporter. We do a full assessment to maximize the refunds for the whole family. We were not able to fully assess your file as your recent taxes have not been filed, so we reached out to you for that information (we called several times with no response). At the same time, we did find refunds your brother was able to claim, so we called to inform him and to remind him of our fees (since they are already mentioned in the contracts that the both of you signed). We were told that you wanted to then close the file, so we respected your wish. We do not hide any information from our clients. All the information regarding our fee can be found on the agreement that you signed.
    Please feel free to give us a call should you have any further concerns.
    Thank you.

    Hi *******,
    I hope all is well.
    We see that you joined your brother's application as a supporter (he listed you as someone who has helped him over the years with his disability). We work to maximize refunds for the disabled, as well as for family members who have provided support. We notified you that we had done as assessment and that you qualified for non-taxable refunds, but you asked us not to proceed and to close the account, which we did. Your file has been closed with us. No calls from you have been blocked. You are more than welcome to give us a call should you have any other concerns. However, we did give you a call to notify you about the refunds and fees and to ask you if you were interested in proceeding, which you said no to. We respected your wishes and closed the file. ** ** *** **** ******. The information is always presented before we proceed, and it is all found in the contract with you did sign.
    Again, please feel free to reach out to us should you have anything more you would like to inquire about.
    Thank you.

    I joined CBA without knowing if I would be eligible for it and I was! the women I spoke to on the phone was very kind and explained the whole process. I have already recommended many people, no complaints.
