disability tax credit

I have a client who applied for the disability tax credit.  Her daughter is the one with the disability, The T2201 was approved.  Online, under the clients account (mother), under disability credit it states that she is able to claim.  My question is...Do I claim disability amount on the info page of the client OR do I select yes where is says qualify for Disability amount on the Dependant info page?

disability tax credit

The DTC if for for the child (the dependant), this you select it for that dependant on the Dependant tab.
Any unused amounts that the child doesn't use (to offset the child's income if they have any) will be transferred to the parent return on Line 31800 (Federal) and on the equivalent line on the provincial xx428 form.


If the parent is claiming a DTC credit for the child, they might also be eligible to claim a Caregiver Credit for an infirm child under 18 on Line 30500.
