Box 85 on T4 Slip claim for next year's taxes?

I'm short this year for claiming medical expenses and getting a refund, so would like to shift the medical expense claim 12 month period for 2015 year's tax return. As box 85 is the money I paid for the company's private health benefits plan, I'm assuming I can do this, as long as I know what each monthly payment was?

For example, I would like to, in next year's tax return to make a medical expense claim period from June 2014 - June 2015. Therefore, I could claim half of the value in box 85 of this year's T4 slip, as long as I enter 0 in that box for this year's tax return. 

Getting started

You can do that, provided you avoid claiming any expenses in 2015 that you already claimed on your 2014 or earlier return.
